Fixed-price billing

The flat rate is an invoicing method where the service provider undertakes to carry out a specific mission for a price set in advance, thus offering cost predictability for the client.

Unlike direct invoicing, the price does not vary according to the time or resources used, except for a few minor adjustments.

This system is advantageous for the client because it allows the budget to be planned accurately and avoids unpleasant financial surprises. In addition, it transfers the risk of time or cost overruns to the service provider, for whom the challenge of resource planning is all the more important.
