A Simple & fair pricing model
The pricing model used by recruitment agencies and project platforms is outdated and unfair.
BBEco uses a simple flat fee structure which helps to drive up freelancer day rates and save clients across every project assignment.
How BBEco pricing compares vs. traditional agencies & platforms:
Day Rate:
£350-£650p/d
Day Rate:
£700-£1000p/d
Day Rate:
£1050+p/d
BBEco Flat Fee: £50p/d
Agency / Platform Fee: 25%
BBEco Flat Fee: £75p/d
Agency / Platform Fee: 25%
BBEco Flat Fee: £100p/d
Agency / Platform Fee: 25%
Example of savings across a 6 month project:
Freelancer Day Rate: £600p/d
Project Length: 120 days (6 months)
via Agency / Platform:
£600 x 120 = £72k x 25% = £18,000
via BBEcosystem:
120 x £50p/d flat fee: £6,000
Freelancer Day Rate: £900p/d
Project Length: 120 days (6 months)
via Agency / Platform:
£900 x 120 = £108k x 25% = £27,000
via BBEcosystem:
120 x £75p/d flat fee: £9,000
Freelancer Day Rate: £1200p/d
Project Length: 120 days (6 months)
via Agency / Platform:
£1200 x 120 = £144k x 25% = £36,000
via BBEcosystem:
120 x £100p/d flat fee: £12,000
Clients save 66% on average using BBEco vs. agencies / project platforms
Before setting up BBEco – our founder (Irfan) built the freelance consulting divisions for some of the largest recruitment agencies and project platforms across Europe (the Barton Partnership, Holker Waktin & Movemeon).
When hiring your next freelancer through an agency or platform chances are you can hire exactly the same freelance consultant through BBEco – you’ll just be saving 66% in fees…
Using a ‘market network’ approach
We’ve taken the best parts of using traditional agencies, platforms and social networks and combined them all to build a service model we think offers something better to freelance consultants and clients:
A focus on quality
We value quality over quantity when it comes to building our freelancer network. To us, it’s all about having a strong relationship and knowledge of each and every one of our freelancers. Who they are, why they freelance? Only then are we able to establish meaningful client – freelancer relationships and build a trusting partnership.
We manage the quality of our network by:
Vetting every member
We review every new membership application to the network by hand.
Staying Connected
We regularly check in with our freelancer network for coffee chats or phone calls.
We Value Referrals
The quality of our network is driven by members referring and sharing what BBEco is doing.
