COLLAB. IS THE CONNECTION POINT

You bring the business need.

Consultants bring the expertise.

Collab. helps bring the two together.

Depending on the engagement, Collab. may:

Provide a platform for consultant profiles
Help businesses discover relevant expertise
Receive and communicate project briefs
Facilitate introductions
Connect clients with potentially suitable consultants
Assist with applicable project administration
Facilitate the applicable service and payment process

Collab. does not replace the professional relationship between the consultant and the client.

WHAT COLLAB. DOES NOT DO

Collab. does not provide the professional consulting advice itself.

The consultant remains responsible for the professional services, advice and recommendations they provide.

The client remains responsible for determining whether a consultant is suitable for their specific requirements.

Collab. does not guarantee:

That a consultant will receive a project
That a suitable consultant will be available immediately
That every consultant will be suitable for every requirement
That an engagement will achieve a specific outcome
