How do I pay for subscription services?
Growth Through Knowledge uses GoCardless to facilitate payments for our subscription-based services.
You will be asked to set up a flexible Direct Debit so that we can collect your future payments automatically (even if dates or amounts change).
Payments are automatic, so you won’t get chased for payments and there’s no risk of late payment fees. You set up payment once, and after that, it’s taken automatically on the invoice due date. No need to set diary reminders or log into your internet banking to make a payment.
Email notifications will keep you informed before any payments are taken. Paying through GoCardless makes your payment predictable, which can make it easier to budget for our services.
GoCardless is authorised by the FCA, GDPR compliant and any payments collected via Direct Debit are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee scheme, which means that you are guaranteed a refund if any payments are taken in error.

How do you determine your prices?
Our pricing seeks to achieve a balance between reflecting the value of the services provided by Growth Through Knowledge, and meeting the budget constraints and expectations of our clients.
We offer fair, transparent pricing that aligns with the level of expertise and quality of work provided.
Here are some of the factors we consider when setting our prices:
Scope of Services: The range of services offered plays a significant role in determining the pricing. A comprehensive package with a wide array of services will be priced differently from a more specialised or limited offering.
Skill Level and Experience: Those with extensive experience and specialised skills often command higher rates due to their ability to deliver high-quality work efficiently.
Time Commitment: Growth Through Knowledge offers service or project-based pricing; pricing will be influenced by the amount of time dedicated to your project or service, but will not be the only factor.
Other providers may offer pricing on an hourly or time-and-materials basis, and it is your choice as to which model works best for you.
Complexity of Work: The complexity and intricacy of the tasks involved will impact pricing. More complicated accounting services or specialised virtual assistant tasks will be priced higher due to the expertise required.
Industry and Market Rates: The industry and market rates for similar services in a particular region or sector also play a role. Growth Through Knowledge conducts market research to ensure our rates are competitive.
Client’s Specific Needs: Tailoring services to meet the unique needs of individual clients may result in customised pricing, to accommodate specific requirements or high demands.
Additional Services and Extras: Growth Through Knowledge may offer add-on services or extras, such as priority support or training for your staff, which will be priced separately.
