The Haywood Consulting Group performs some of its services for a flat fee; for other services it charges hourly rates. Occasionally we accept equity in partial payment.

Before you commit to any service, we hold a free initial consultation over the phone to evaluate your needs and goals, and we carefully review any existing materials you may have.

We are not the lowest cost, or even a low cost, provider of services. We believe we are, however, the most cost-effective provider of services.
