The true cost of CCP: flat fee, success based and traditional consulting

A common question from Singapore SMEs is, “How much does CCP consulting cost?” The answer depends on the fee model used. Below is a simple comparison of typical models and why BizGrants chose a flat fee, success linked approach.

Comparing CCP consulting models

Model	How it works	Pros	Cons
Traditional hourly or retainer	Pay per hour or per month regardless of outcome	Deep engagement; may support broader HR or transformation work	High upfront cost and no guarantee of CCP approval; harder for SMEs to budget
Pure success fee	Pay a % of approved grant amount only if funded	No upfront risk; advisor is motivated to secure approval	Percentages can be high; some advisors select only “easy” cases
Flat fee with approval linked component (BizGrants)	Fixed project fee, with a portion collected only upon approval	Transparent and capped cost; risk sharing; suitable for complex cases	Works best for employers willing to commit time and documents
