Link Advisory - Transparent Fee Structure

Our Client-First Business Model

At Link Advisory, we believe in complete transparency and aligning our success with yours. Our fee structure is designed to minimize risk for international buyers while ensuring we deliver exceptional value throughout the sourcing process.

Who Pays for Our Services?

The client/buyer engages and pays for our consultancy services. This ensures our recommendations remain completely unbiased and focused solely on your business objectives.

Our Three-Tier Fee Structure

1. Setup Fee

One-time payment covering initial project development

What this includes:

  • Comprehensive market analysis and supplier identification
  • Rigorous vetting of potential producers (quality checks, certification verification)
  • Pre-visits to shortlisted facilities
  • Initial meetings and relationship building with suppliers
  • Development of tailored sourcing strategy
  • Preliminary negotiations and capability assessment

This fee ensures we invest the necessary time and resources to identify the best possible partners for your specific requirements.

2. Success Fee

Payable only when you proceed with a recommended supplier

Triggered when:

  • You and the producer agree to move forward with a partnership
  • Contracts are signed between buyer and supplier
  • Initial order is confirmed

This performance-based model ensures we're motivated to find partnerships that actually work for your business.

3. Process Management Fee

Optional ongoing support for complex production cycles

Applicable when projects require:

  • Extended production timelines (typically 3+ months)
  • Regular factory visits and quality inspections
  • Continuous coordination between multiple parties
  • Production monitoring and progress reporting
  • Quality control throughout manufacturing process
  • Logistics coordination and shipment supervision

This ensures consistent quality and timeline adherence for longer-term projects.
