Client Selection
International Health Management, Inc. is committed to client
success. We are excited by our capacity to play key roles in challenging projects around
the globe, and seek clients who philosophically and financially share that commitment.
Consistent with this, we are selective in choosing clients
with whom we work. Our reputation and yours are exceedingly important to us. When we are
confident that our client has the ability to participate in measuring the opportunities,
considering the risks and making the necessary judgements with us, we are always confident
that we will succeed.
Fees and Related
International Health Management, Inc. has worked with private
investor groups, international banks and funding agencies, governments, facilities and
institutions.
It is rare that we travel anywhere in the world without having our
expenses covered by the potential client even when we are in the initial stages of
discussing a possible management and consulting engagement. Most frequently, such visits
will also require a nominal fee. It is our belief that our experience, professional objectivity and network of
colleagues and firms constitute our products and intellectual property.
International Health Management, Inc. works on a flat fee, per
diem and retainer basis. At times we will accept equity as partial payment and we might
offer part of our fee as a guarantee. We generally require a retainer to assure the legitimate interests of our clients, their desire to engage a quality company that will fully commit to the client and to substantiate that the client has financial resources available. Our fees are quite competitive and commensurate with the experience and ability of our people and our success in the market.
Because the international market is extremely complex and, while we are
able to "qualify" many of our potential clients anywhere in the world, we
require that a retainer, estimated travel and related out-of-pocket expenses be wired to our account
prior to embarking. In addition, we require that clients provide a percentage of the fee prior
to the engagement and the balance at the time of the deliverables or as determined.
If possible, we like to plan our projects far enough
in advance so that we might obtain the most reasonable airfare, facilitate wire transfers
and arrange for visas. We are travel agents and, at times with planning, are able to
obtain more favorable rates. But this cannot be guaranteed. When possible, we attempt to combine trips to provide greatest value and cost savings for clients.
At all times, we consider the costs to our clients and our clients'
Return on Investment (R.O.I.).
