Pricing FAQ
How much does a business consultant cost?
How much does a business consultant cost?
Business consultant pricing varies widely by scope and engagement model. At Blackline Strategy Partners, a one-time Strategy Session is $297, a 90-minute Growth Roadmap Session is $997, and ongoing advisory runs from $1,500/month for the Core Retainer up to $5,000/month for an embedded Fractional CSO. Traditional management-consulting firms often bill $200–$500+ per hour or five-figure monthly retainers, so a fixed-scope session is usually the most cost-effective way for a founder to start.
What are typical business consulting rates?
Hourly business consulting rates typically range from $100 to $500+ depending on the consultant's experience and the size of the engagement. Blackline uses flat, transparent pricing instead of hourly billing, so you know the total cost up front — sessions are $297 and $997, and monthly advisory runs $1,500–$5,000.
How much does a strategy session cost?
Blackline's entry-level Strategy Session is $297 for 60 minutes — a focused diagnostic that identifies your primary constraint and the highest-leverage next move. The 90-minute Growth Roadmap Session is $997 and includes a written 30-day plan you keep.
Do you offer ongoing advisory or only one-time sessions?
Both. One-time Strategy and Growth Roadmap Sessions are ideal for a specific decision or plan. For sustained support, the Core Retainer is $1,500/month (3-month minimum) with 2–3 sessions per month plus async support, and the Fractional CSO engagement is $5,000/month with a strategist embedded in your business.
