Revenue model

1. Fixed-Price Legal Services (Step Model): BrandMR charges customers a fixed price per step of legal service: Online Check (free), Personal Advice (€219), Negotiation (starting at €1,125–€1,250), and Litigation (starting at €3,495–€6,250). Customers choose each step independently. For uninsured clients, this is the primary revenue source. Payment can be made upfront or in installments via Buckaroo.
2. Insurance-Linked Legal Services: BrandMR provides legal services under power-of-attorney arrangements with insurance partners (De Goudse, De Vereende, De Zeeuwse, JUWON). Costs for these services are covered by the policyholder's legal expense insurance. BrandMR handles case intake, coverage verification, and legal representation. Revenue flows from the insurer per agreed service terms.
3. Installment Payment Processing: BrandMR offers an installment payment option (Betalen in Termijnen) for negotiation and litigation steps. This is administered through payment provider Buckaroo. Customers pay in scheduled installments, with BrandMR receiving full payment over time. The first installment must be paid immediately, subsequent terms are every 30 days.
