A published engagement fee. A refundable retainer.
The Liquid Partners pricing structure is simple by design. One number on the website. The same number in every Engagement Letter. The rest of the retainer is yours.
Two engagement speeds. One simple structure.
Engagement fees start at 6% of the retainer for a standard 7-business-day engagement, and step up to 8.5% for a 3-business-day rush. The fee on your engagement is defined in writing in your Engagement Letter before any retainer is funded.
7-business-day engagement

The engagement fee is the engagement fee.
$0 application fee
Discovery conversations and Engagement Letter preparation are free. You only pay once an engagement is signed and the retainer is funded.
$0 monthly minimum
There is no recurring fee outside of an active engagement. Re-engage when you need to; stay quiet when you don’t.
$0 hidden markups
The published engagement fee is the fee. No markup on the refund, no “processing reserve” held back, no settlement-day adjustments.
