Commercial structure

Commercial structure should be clear before the work begins.

IKAN separates its service fee, agreed programme structure and third-party costs so a buyer can see what is being priced, what is passed through and what still depends on the live brief.

  • No unsupported indicative rates
  • Fees and pass-throughs separated
  • Proposal built from the live scope
Prepare the question here. A person confirms what applies.

Three commercial shapes

The structure follows the engagement.

  1. 01

    Per-service fee

    A defined service or set of services is priced against the agreed move, city, route, dates and responsibilities.

  2. 02

    Programme rate card

    An employer or RMC can agree a rate structure in advance for a defined programme, with scope and exceptions recorded.

  3. 03

    Pass-through costs

    Third-party costs are separated from IKAN's fee and carried with the applicable provider record or supporting document.

Fee and pass-through boundary

Know which party owns each cost.

IKAN fee

The agreed coordination, specialist, delivery, review and reporting work named in the proposal or programme rate card.

Third-party cost

External authority, provider, property, transport, school, carrier or specialist charges that depend on the actual route and supplier.

Live dependency

Availability, authority requirements, taxes, provider terms and scope changes are confirmed before they are treated as committed.

What a proposal needs

A useful proposal begins with a useful brief.

Proposal timing is confirmed after the scope, live dependencies and approved commercial channel are understood.

  • The people and household moving
  • Origin, destination and move direction
  • Services and programme responsibilities
  • Target dates and known dependencies
  • City, sponsorship and approved channel

Approval and handoff

The proposal names the parties, scope, owners and next approval.

The signing entity, commercial owner, service responsibilities, third-party assumptions and route after approval belong in the actual proposal.
