What does it cost for us to help you with your e-Commerce set up?
The truth is - it’s probably more than you think - but less than it's worth. Let me explain.
There's likely to be an initial bit of consultation. To get this right for YOU and for YOUR BUSINESS - then we need to spend time talking. What income streams are important, what numbers do you want to know? What territories are you selling in? How are you segmenting customers? What sales channels are you using?
It goes on - is there remedial work? Is your VAT set up correctly? Do you have historic data that needs to be reconciled? Do you have a reliable stock number? How far through your financial year are you?
Then - what do you want to do with the numbers you get? What reporting do you need? How often? Who is going to do the bookkeeping work? Do we need to train you or your team - or do you want us to do it? Do you want to overlay any other metrics you use in your business?
Some businesses are really straight-forward. Sales on just one platform - figures are pretty good but reliant on manual processes - and the real job is to automate from here. We don't need to do additional reporting and no change is required to Xero. We would charge that at £875.00 + VAT for the initial consultation, completing a straight-forward set up and giving you some training about how it works. We can also provide a fee proposal for helping to manage it on an ongoing basis.
If it's a more complex set-up - and I'm thinking, multiple channels, months of data to correct, more complex VAT arrangements, costs of goods to be considered - the fee could move to more like £3,000 + VAT
We don't quote until we've talked with you - looked at Xero and established what's involved. If it's straight-forward we'll let you know. The fees I'm quoting here are indicative - because it's useful to have guidance about what you may be in for.
