Service Fees Structure
Percentage Commission on Fieldwork
- Subscription to the WRA platform is completely free. Without subscription revenue, we cover operating costs from a sourcing and coordination commission of the total fieldwork value of the project billed to the research buyer with an absolute minimum of US$ 500.

| Less than US$ 50,000 | |
| US$ 50,000-100,000 | |
| US$ 100,001-150,000 | |
| US$ 150,001-300,000 | |
| US$ 300,001-500,000 | |
| US$ 500,001-750,000 | |
| More than US$ 750K |
- An additional project management fee is typically quite modest and depends on the scope of the survey. This includes independent quality control.
- In most cases our service more than compensates for our commission, as it generates significant savings thanks to receiving multiple quotations from cost-efficient service providers.
Terms of Payment
- Terms between the buyer and provider are subject to negotiation, but with the latter tending to hold sway.
- The industry norm is 50/50 with the first payment due upon commissioning and the final to be settled within 30 days. However, practices vary and depend on the relationship with the client.
- WRA handles the invoicing and oversees timely payments.
- WRA reserves the right not to provide quotations at its discretion, usually prompted by lack of feasibility or previous unfavourable dealings with the enquiring party.
