Our Prices:
Bloodstock Purchases: 5% up to €50,000 (Euros), negotiable thereafter, or for multiple purchases.
Management: 5% of all bills raised. This includes recommending and liaising with a stud farm/trainer, keeping a regular check on the horse's well-being, payment of bills and arranging the FX (normally Sterling to €uros), arranging insurance and transport etc.
Syndication: normally as a one-off price to include all costs (training, purchase, vet., etc.) until the horse is sold again. Typically the price works out at cost +5% (ie. as per management).
Stallion advice and nomination booking: free if a commission is paid by the stallion farm, otherwise 5% of covering price.
Other Services: cost +5%
Any other service: charged by the hour (current rate = €45) + costs incurred.
NOTE: TVA (VAT) is levied in France at 5.5% on boarding costs and bloodstock purchases, and 19.6% on nearly everything else. Our charges are calculated on the net price (ie. exclusive of TVA). We do not charge TVA or VAT on top of OUR charges.
Above all, our pricing structure is designed to be as simple as possible, so you know what you are going to pay before committing. There are absolutely no hidden charges. We are totally committed to honesty and integrity in our business dealings; ALL commissions payable in the course of business (for example on a stallion nomination), will be fully declared to the client(s) before any such transaction. There are absolutely no hidden charges. Any “conflicts of interest” will be fully declared to all parties before any transaction.
