Agree the scope before work begins

Ask for a written quote identifying the entity, period or application covered; the documents you must provide; and the records you will receive. Confirm whether corrections, responses to notices and later filings are included or quoted separately.

Separate professional charges from government fees, taxes and third-party costs. Application acceptance, loan sanction, certification and other external decisions remain with the relevant authority or institution.
