Overseas and domestic research fees

Overseas and Domestic Research Service Fees

Estimated Fees

Service fees for overseas and domestic research services vary depending on (1) the target country, (2) the difficulty level of the research in the target country, (3) the content and volume of research items required, and other factors. With these three factors in mind, we calculate the total time cost that the project manager, researcher, checker, report writer, and outside professional advisors (if necessary) would spend on the case, and then multiply this by our stipulated hourly rate to arrive at the total cost.

(We may revise the difficulty level from time to time to take into account the effects of local political conditions, outbreaks of disease, etc.).
