Rates & Fee Guidance
Transparent pricing for expansion planning consultations — fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables, no subscription tiers.
How we price our work
Magnolia Path charges by engagement scope, not by monthly subscription. Every consultation has defined deliverables, a timeline, and a fixed fee agreed before work begins. The figures below are starting points; final fees depend on travel requirements, number of candidate sites, and complexity of your operation.
Multi-Location Expansion Plan
Our flagship six-to-ten-week engagement including readiness assessment, market shortlist, financial model, rollout timeline, and final written plan. Fee varies with number of candidate cities and on-site visit requirements.
Includes up to three field visits within northern Taiwan. Additional travel to central or southern cities billed at NT$8,000 per day plus expenses.
Site Selection Assessment
Focused trade-area research and storefront comparison for one target district. Ideal when you have narrowed your search but need an independent evaluation before signing a lease.
Operational Readiness Review
One-to-two-week audit of management depth, cash flow capacity, SOP documentation, and owner bandwidth. Delivers a go, wait, or no-go recommendation with specific gaps to address.
Branch Rollout Coordination
Eight-to-fourteen weeks of project coordination from lease signing through opening week. Weekly calls, milestone tracking, and on-site check-ins during critical phases.
What affects your quote
- Number of candidate sites — evaluating four storefronts costs more than evaluating two
- Travel distance — engagements requiring multiple trips to southern Taiwan include travel days
- Business complexity — a clinic with licensing requirements needs more research than a retail pop-up
- Urgency — compressed timelines may require additional advisor hours
Payment terms
We require a 50% deposit to begin work and the balance upon delivery of the final report or plan. Invoices are issued in New Taiwan Dollars. We do not process online payments through this website — settlement is by bank transfer after scope confirmation.
Ongoing advisory
Some clients retain us for quarterly check-ins after an expansion plan is delivered. This is arranged separately at NT$25,000 per quarter and is not required to complete any of the engagements above.
