Regardless of the type of project, my goal is to deliver quality work in a timely manner that exceeds your expectations. What follows are some of the services I can provide to help your business in times of excessive workload, labor shortages, and project necessity, and to lessen your headaches.

• Special projects. My diverse background and work history allow me to tackle "special projects" no single person can do – or wants to do. I welcome any project challenge no matter how insurmountable or outlandish it may seem.

• Business research. Whatever information you're looking to find, I will find it. This includes all types of investment, industry, market, business, and product research. It also includes competitive intelligence, data mining, emerging business models, customer profiling, management profiling, trends, legal actions, and tax violations.

• Technical writing, white papers, business writing, and reports. I am the author of two books and dozens of published articles. I have produced all types of quality writing from technical white papers to effective ad copy. I can write business collateral, business plans, annual reports, and training manuals. My writing is clear, and I have a knack for writing complicated and technical information in a manner that is easy to understand.

• Investment advisory service. This service is offered to accredited investors. I perform comprehensive due diligence and investigative work to help investors make informed decisions about potential investments. Services include company due diligence, data mining, and management screening. Services also include analysis of business plans, financial performmance, competitors, and competitive industries.

• Business development and sales. With a successful track record of business development and sales, I am available for short-term business development or sales contract work. Services include temporarily filling a position, selling into new markets, or helping to build or expand a new department. Other services include partnership identification, lead generation, market research, and competitive intelligence.

Fees vary depending on size and scope of project. Aspen Research provides written bid proposals for all projects. Fees range between $75 and $200 an hour for short-term projects. Projects expected to last more than a month are bid at monthly rates. Some reimbursable expenses may apply, but are agreed upon in advance and outlined in the terms of the contract.

For short-term projects, Aspen Research bills on a 25-50-25 basis. This means 25% of the contract fee is billed at the time of signing the contract, the second 50% is billed during the middle of the project, and the final 25% is billed at the end of the project. All payments are Net 15. Long-term projects are billed on a monthly basis.

Aspen Research makes it the client's responsibility to donate 25% of the contract fees to a childhood hunger charity. This means if a client contracts with Aspen Research for a $20,000 project, the client is responsible for donating $5,000 directly to a charity. All tax accounting is handled between the client and the charity.
