Published prices depend on the scope and assumptions shown. We confirm the engagement with you before work starts.

New to Parallax?

We can quote for your round even if another firm handled your formation or earlier financings, allowing for diligence and cleanup.

When the work changes.

Unusual structures and significant out-of-scope work may need additional fees. We agree them with you before doing the work.

Several projects?

We can bundle them into one custom proposal and pass the efficiencies on to you.
