Engagements
Finnstar Co sells consulting and advisory services. Nothing on this site is a product purchase, a subscription, or an offer of any financial instrument. Every engagement is quoted individually, agreed in writing, and invoiced in US dollars.
01 — What We Sell
Ongoing counsel to a founder, executive team, or studio. Standing access to the principal, a recurring working session, and asynchronous review between them.
A scoped body of work with a written deliverable: an IP architecture, an AI adoption plan, a franchise bible, a go-to-market or diligence review.
Education and enablement for a leadership team — cohort sessions, one-to-one work, and the playbook the client keeps afterward.
Build partnership on an original or co-owned venture. Compensation may combine fees with equity, revenue share, or IP co-ownership where both parties agree in writing.
02 — Pricing
The firm does not publish rate cards, because scope drives price and no two mandates are alike. What is fixed is the mechanism: you receive a written proposal stating the fee, the schedule, and the deliverables before any charge is made.
03 — Process
You describe the problem by email or through the contact form. Response within one business day.
A 30-45 minute conversation to establish whether the mandate is a fit and what the real question is.
Scope, deliverables, fee, schedule, and terms in writing. Payment is by Stripe invoice or payment link; the statement descriptor references FINNSTAR.
The work is performed by the principal. Delivery is remote and electronic — documents, sessions, and working artifacts. Nothing is shipped physically.
Final artifact delivered, remaining balance invoiced, and a documented handoff so your team can carry the work forward.
04 — Billing & Delivery
Payments are processed by Stripe. The firm does not store card details. Card statements carry a descriptor referencing FINNSTAR so the charge is recognizable.
Stripe. Card details are handled by Stripe and never stored by the firm.
Charges appear with a descriptor referencing FINNSTAR.
Retainers monthly in advance; projects on deposit and milestones.
Remote electronic delivery of documents and sessions. No physical goods, no shipping.
Retainers on 30 days' written notice; projects per the accepted proposal.
Contact the firm before raising a chargeback — billing questions are answered within one business day.
Engagement terms are governed by the Terms of Service and the Refund & Cancellation Policy. Fees for services already performed are earned when performed; deposits are applied against the final invoice. The firm does not hold client funds beyond fees invoiced for its own services.
