Pricing & Engagement Structures
NVEDG structures engagements around the actual stage, scope, and complexity of the work. Whether you need one focused project, ongoing business support, market-facing representation, or higher-level strategic coordination — the right structure depends on what you are trying to move.
Some clients need a one-time setup or launch engagement. Some need monthly continuity and support. Some need representation and market-facing coordination. Some need higher-level strategic operations. And some foreign principals or selected founders may fall under special custom pathways.

Standard Engagement Structures
Five clearly defined packages for businesses at different stages. Each is scoped, priced, and structured around a specific type of need.
Advisory Starter
MonthlyLight-touch entry support — occasional guidance without a full retainer
A light support package for clients who need guidance, basic coordination, and occasional business assistance without entering a full retainer yet. Structured to give you access to NVEDG advisory at an accessible entry point.
- Basic business advisory
- Simple document guidance
- General administrative coordination
- Standard-hours support
- Light follow-up assistance
First-time founders, small businesses, sole proprietors, and clients testing the waters before scaling up.
Business Setup & Launch
One-TimeFocused, milestone-based project — from structuring to ready-to-operate
A focused setup package for clients who need help getting the business properly structured, documented, and ready to operate. Scoped around a clear milestone — not open-ended consultancy.
- Initial setup assessment
- Recommended registration or structuring pathway
- Basic setup document guidance and preparation support
- Filing and coordination support
- Progress updates until setup milestone is completed
New business owners, startups, early-stage founders, and clients formalizing an existing informal business.
Next step: After setup, clients may continue with an ongoing Business Maintenance & Advisory arrangement for regular support, coordination, and compliance guidance.
Business Maintenance & Advisory
MonthlyOngoing continuity retainer for businesses that are already set up and operating
An ongoing support retainer for businesses that are already set up and now need continuity, compliance guidance, administrative coordination, and day-to-day advisory. The natural continuation after setup — and meaningfully different from Advisory Starter in scope, regularity, and commitment.
- Ongoing business advisory
- Administrative and operational coordination
- Compliance and renewal reminders
- Document and process guidance
- Routine support and follow-through
Newly registered businesses, startups needing post-setup support, and small to medium businesses needing regular guidance without a large internal team.
Representation & Market Enablement
MonthlyMarket-facing retainer — local presence, stakeholder coordination, and follow-through
A market-facing retainer for businesses that need representation, networking, stakeholder coordination, and follow-through in the Philippines. Someone on the ground, moving things forward on your behalf.
- Local representation support
- Stakeholder and partner coordination
- External communications handling
- Networking and business development support
- Reporting and advisory updates
Foreign-backed businesses, brands entering the Philippine market, and companies needing local presence and relationship management.
Strategic Operations & Expansion
MonthlyExecutive-level coordination across operations, growth, and multiple workstreams
A higher-level engagement for organizations that need sustained strategic support across operations, growth, partnerships, manpower, and executive coordination. The strongest recurring engagement in the NVEDG structure.
- Executive-level advisory
- Operations oversight and coordination
- Expansion planning support
- Cross-functional workstream management
- Strategic reporting and reviews
Scaling businesses, multi-project organizations, foreign principals, and companies requiring ongoing higher-level support.
Why NVEDG prices this way
Every engagement is scoped according to the actual business need, complexity, deliverables, and cadence of support required. Clients are not paying for generic package fluff. They are paying for structure, movement, coordination, and execution support that fits the actual situation.
Some engagements are retained monthly because the work is ongoing — compliance, coordination, reporting, and advisory do not happen once. Some engagements are quoted individually because the scope is unique, the stakeholders are complex, or the entry pathway requires custom structuring.
The Founder Access Option exists because NVEDG recognizes that some of the most serious founders operate under real resource constraints. That pathway is selective precisely because it is not a casual offer — it is a deliberate business relationship with formal terms and mutual accountability.
Transparency note: Government fees, filing charges, travel, and third-party costs are scoped separately where applicable and communicated transparently before work begins.
Scope-based
Pricing reflects the actual work, not a template. The more complex and sustained the engagement, the more resource it takes to deliver properly.
Monthly retainers for ongoing work
Compliance guidance, coordination, and advisory are not one-time tasks. A retainer structure ensures consistent access and accountability.
Quoted engagements for complex scope
Foreign principal entry, deal facilitation, and multi-stakeholder work cannot be priced by a rate card. These are scoped through conversation.
Selective founder pathway
The Founder Access Option carries real commercial terms, internal review, and milestone accountability — not an open discount.
Foreign Principal Market Entry
& Deal Facilitation
A custom engagement for foreign principals, investors, and overseas companies entering or exploring the Philippine market. Scope, structure, and commercial terms are assessed individually.
Foreign market entry involves structuring decisions, regulatory navigation, local stakeholder relationships, and coordination across multiple parties. No two entry pathways are identical. NVEDG assesses each situation individually and proposes a custom engagement structure accordingly.
Foreign companies, overseas investors, and international principals seeking Philippine market entry, partnership facilitation, or deal structuring support.
- Entry pathway assessment
- Structuring and coordination support
- Local liaison and stakeholder engagement
- Partner, franchise, or investor facilitation
- Deal and expansion support
Founder Access Option
A selective deferred-fee or flexible commercial pathway for startup founders who qualify under NVEDG's internal review and formal terms. This is not a casual offer — it is a deliberate business relationship.
Qualified startup owners may be allowed to begin with a deferred or flexible payment structure, subject to approval and formal terms. This may involve adjusted payment timing, milestone-based payment, hybrid structures, or other flexible arrangements depending on fit.
This pathway is designed for serious early-stage founders with real potential but limited immediate cash flow. It carries formal milestones, accountability expectations, and a clear commercial framework — not an informal arrangement.
Ideal ForSerious early-stage founders, startups with potential but limited immediate cash flow, and businesses that may later convert into standard retainers.
- Deferred or milestone-based payment structure
- Formal commercial terms tailored to the situation
- NVEDG advisory and coordination support
- Pathway to standard retainer as the business develops
- Internal review and direct engagement by NVEDG leadership
All founder-support arrangements are reviewed internally and formalized through written terms, milestones, and accountability checkpoints before work begins.
NVEDG selects which arrangements to proceed with. Not all applications will be accepted.
Approval for the Founder Access Option depends on a review of the following:
- Founder seriousness and professional responsiveness
- Execution readiness and demonstrated initiative
- Business potential and market viability
- Strategic fit with NVEDG capabilities
- Willingness to operate under formal milestones and terms
