Where responsibility sits

SettleDone coordinates. Independent providers perform. You approve.

SettleDone coordinates

  • Documents and coordinates the agreed programme.
  • Manages dependencies, provider communication, tracking, follow-up and agreed reporting.
  • Escalates issues within scope.

You remain responsible for

  • Providing accurate information and documents.
  • Making decisions and signing provider engagements.
  • Attending required appointments.
  • Paying providers and external costs directly.

Independent providers perform

  • Their own professional advice, regulated work and deliverables.
  • Their own terms, fees and compliance.
  • Decisions and timelines set by government bodies, landlords, schools and other third parties.

What is paid separately

External costs.

SettleDone charges for programme design, coordination and management. Independent providers quote and invoice you directly. Professional fees, government charges, deposits, travel, accommodation, shipping and other external costs are separate unless expressly included in your written proposal.

Honest boundaries

What is not included.

  • SettleDone does not provide marketing, brand, websites, SEO, paid media, sales, CRM, general IT development, fundraising or investment advice.
  • Legal, tax, immigration and accounting work is performed by independent providers under their own professional terms.
  • For other EU countries and Canada, standard immigration and legal work is excluded — regulated arrangements remain with an existing adviser or an independent local provider identified separately.

Common questions

Founder Relocation & Business Setup — frequently asked.

  • No. Published figures are starting points that reflect a typical scope for a programme of that shape. The final quotation is confirmed in a written proposal after the Discovery Call and, where useful, a Blueprint. Household size, number of entities or employees, urgency, complexity of the immigration and provider dependencies, in-person requirements and programme duration all move the number.
