Pricing for Overseas ResearchAccelerate Your Global Strategy with CQ Business®

Our fees for overseas and domestic research vary based on:

  • The target country
  • The level of research difficulty in that country
  • The content and volume of the required research items

Based on these three factors, we estimate the total hours required for project managers, researchers, reviewers, report authors, and, when necessary, external subject-matter experts. We then multiply this by our company’s standard hourly rate to determine the total cost.
