We will help you choose an appropriate level of service from the banded rates that we offer, taking into account the number of employees, your needs and risk profile. Each month you will receive a statement of account showing how much of the retainer fee has been used by your team and any surplus is rolled over into the following month. The level of usage will be reviewed every three months to ensure that the fee levels are correct for you.
