The True Cost of CCP: Flat-Fee, Success-Based vs. Traditional Consulting

One question we hear often from Singapore SMEs: “How much does it cost to get help with CCP grants?” The reality is, not all consulting models are created equal. Here, we break down the cost structures—and explain why BizGrants Consulting’s flat-fee, success-only approach is designed to protect employers and remove risk.

Comparing Consulting Models for CCP and Grant Advisory

Model	How It Works	Pros	Cons
Traditional (Hourly/Retainer)	Pay upfront or monthly regardless of outcome	Long-term relationship; may include HR transformation	High upfront cost; no guarantee of approval; hard for SMEs to budget
Commission-Based (Success Fee Only)	Pay a % of grant amount only if approved	No risk to employer; consultant is incentivised for approval	Percentages can be high (15–25% of grant); may push for only “easy” cases
Flat Fee, Success-Only (BizGrants Consulting)	Pay a fixed fee, in two tranches: 50% on project start, 50% only if approved. Full refund if not approved.	Transparent; capped cost; risk-free; high service levels for all clients	Best suited for companies ready to commit to the process and documentation
