Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions clients ask before sending a retainer.
What is the retainer payment for?
The retainer secures your engagement and covers the upfront advisory, onboarding, review, and planning work needed to begin properly.
When does work begin?
Work typically begins after HYON Q receives the retainer and all requested intake materials relevant to your matter.
Can I pay before signing my agreement?
No. You should only remit payment once scope, terms, and instructions are confirmed through the proper engagement documents.
What if I need an updated invoice or payment instructions?
Contact HYON Q directly and we will reissue the invoice or confirm the correct instructions before you submit payment.
Need Clarity First?
Do Not Pay Until The Engagement Is Clearly Confirmed.
If the agreement, invoice, amount due, or payment instructions need a second look, speak with HYON Q first. Payment should close uncertainty, not create it.
Confirm the invoice amount matches the approved scope
Verify payment instructions came directly from HYON Q
Pause immediately if anything looks outdated or inconsistent
Need To Confirm The Next Step Before You Pay?
Contact HYON Q if anything about the invoice, scope, or payment process needs confirmation. It is better to clarify now than unwind a misaligned payment later.
