Setting up a 501(c)(3): The fee for this is a $600 flat rate for approximately 5 to 6 hours of time (this includes time working directly with our attorney). In this consultation, I work with the client to conceive the concept and purposes, the potential projects to be addressed, the manner of artist affiliation, the assembly of the proper board members, name of organization and a full overview of the organizational imperative. The fee also includes the e-version of my book Straight Ahead – A Comprehensive Guide to the Business of Jazz (Without Sacrificing Dignity or Artistic Integrity), which contains a full chapter on the non-profit corporation with 89 Q/As covering all aspects of the entity. The consultation does not include the attorney’s fee or any filing fees. The attorney we use for this is Leonard Easter, one of the foremost non-profit attorneys in the country. At present, his fee is $1,500 but he reduces that by $250 for my clients because he knows that they are fully prepared for incorporation and it diminishes his workload in the process. State filing fees tend to range between $150-250 and the federal filing fee at this time can be as little as $250.
Strategic Planning/Management Consulting: For my one-off, one-hour sessions, I charge artists $120 and business professionals $140. For artists, I offer packages of 5 hours for $500 ($600 for business professionals).
The single sessions are best if there is a specific issue that needs to be addressed; or if someone is just trying to make sense out of the nonsense in a more overview perspective; or just trying to figure out what their next steps should be.
Ongoing work is available on a limited basis and subject to the criteria below, but if the concept of working more extensively is of interest, I also offer a 15-20 minute no-strings conversation where we would be able to deduce whether or not it would be productive to start working together. I’m also happy to offer references from clients who have worked with me in this manner. For testimonials visit: http://www.outwardvisions.com/marty-khan-testimonials/
The three criteria for taking someone on in an ongoing relationship are:
1 – I have to believe in their commitment and seriousness of pursuit (nothing to do with whether or not I am personally into their art)
2 – I have to like them enough to know that we can get along and work productively
3 – I have to know that I can help
All consulting fees are payable in advance
