How much does Linked Core cost?

Stage 1 is $2,000. Stage 2 starts at $2,000 and most clients invest between $2,000 and $15,000 depending on what gets built. Stage 3 is $2,000. The optional monthly plan is $1,500 or $3,000 per month.

Do I have to do all four stages?

No. Stage 1 is required because nothing is built without an audit first. After that, each stage is a separate decision and you can stop at any point. Some clients stop after Stage 1 and that is a legitimate outcome.

Do I pay everything upfront?

Payments are made per stage, not upfront for the entire program. After completing each stage you decide whether to continue to the next one.

Why is Stage 2 a price range?

Because it is priced by what actually gets built. A solo service business needs far less than one with a team and inventory. You see the module list and the total price before any work starts.

Do you take equity in my business?

No. Linked Core never takes equity or a revenue share. You keep full ownership of your company and pay a fee for the work.

Is the monthly partnership required?

No, but most clients choose it. Systems that nobody maintains drift within about six months. The monthly plan has no minimum term and can be paused or ended at any time.

After Stage 3

At this point you own it,
and you can run it without me

That is the honest end of the build. By the end of Stage 3 every system you paid for is live, your team is trained on it, the procedures are written down, and the business runs without me in the room. You are not tied to anything and nothing stops working if you walk away.
That is the point of paying per stage.

What sends most people into the monthly plan is not that something is broken. It is that once the business finally runs properly, the ideas start coming. A new offer, a second location, a hire, an automation nobody thought of while everything was still on fire.

That is what the retainer is for. You get a Fractional COO who works like a partner without being one. Someone inside the business every week, who already knows how every system was built,
who watches it as you grow and helps with the next thing when you are ready for it.
No equity, no minimum term, and you can stop whenever it stops being worth it.

Stage 4

This is where
most clients end up

With your business running independently, you can keep me involved month to month to refine operations, implement new ideas, and support your next stage of growth.

Continue for as long as it brings you value.
No minimum term. Pause or cancel any time.
