BUSINESS FEES

CMR works by sharing the revenue from client business handled.  The standard fee sharing arrangements are:

• 75% is paid to those CMR members directly working on the client's business
• 10% is paid to whoever introduced the business
•   7½ is paid to CMR's Business Units & for CMR Marketing
•   7½ is retained by CMR to offset central F&A costs - any surplus is donated to charity

For those CMR Special Business and Affinity Groups, who undertake their own marketing activity, the above rates mean that 92½% of fees received are paid to that Group.

This structure applies to all standard CMR work for clients - however if we pay commissions to external parties introducing business or investors that exceeds the above introductory allowance, then the excess commission is netted-off before these percentages are applied.  Click for details of the CMR Business Referral Scheme.

For interim management and permanent recruitment of CMR Executives by external companies, that company is charged a success fee of 17.5% of which 50% is paid as commission to whoever introduced the business.  See CMR's Interim Management & Permanent Recruitment Programme.

Generally the above fees are paid eight working days after receipt of client's cheque to allow for bank clearance.

CMR will also sometimes take equity in a client's business - the above percentages apply also to that shareholding.
