A starter package is an entry-level package for new clients or those with limited budgets. It typically includes basic services and limited scope.
Example: A marketing consultant’s starter package might include a social media audit, a month of social media management, and a basic content calendar for R1,000.
- Premium Package
A premium package offers comprehensive services and advanced solutions for clients seeking extensive support.
Example: A human resources consultant’s premium package might include a comprehensive HR audit, policy development, and on-site training for R10,000.

A retainer package provides ongoing support and services for a fixed monthly fee.
Example: An IT consultant’s retainer package might include monthly network monitoring, security updates, and priority support for R2,500 per month.
- Project-Based Package
A project-based package focuses on delivering a specific project outcome for a fixed fee.
Example: A web development consultant’s project-based package might include designing and launching a new website for R15,000.
- Tiered Package
A tiered package offers varying levels of service and support, allowing clients to choose the level that suits their needs.
Example: A financial consultant’s tiered package might include:
