FAQ

Questions, answered

Still unsure? Add your question to the application and I'll answer it.

Why wouldn't I just hire an executive?

A full-time executive's monthly salary is six digits, and you may not have enough initiatives and resources to fully use them.

Is there a limit to what I can ask?

Ask as much as you want: strategy, branding, marketing, e-commerce, websites, sales, software, IT, operations, inventory, compliance, accounting and HR. I don't advise on highly technical matters such as legal, engineering or chemistry.

What if I only have one requirement?

That's fine. You can pause your subscription when finished and return when you have additional needs.

Are there refunds if I don't like the service?

Refunds are not available but you can pause or cancel the subscription anytime.
