Terms
Contract, fees, credentials.
Most providers in this market make you ask for this. Here it is — expand and forward.
Who is the contracting party?
MLI Leadership Institut GmbH, Mühlstraße 4, 86911 Dießen am Ammersee, Germany. Legal form: GmbH (limited liability company), founded 2013. Commercial register HRB 36640, Local Court of Augsburg. VAT ID DE289523343. Represented by Sebastian Morgner.
What does the first meeting cost?
The first meeting is free of charge and included in every coaching.
How are engagements commissioned and invoiced?
Each phase can be commissioned separately. Invoicing is monthly by progress or per phase.
Payment terms are 30 days net from receipt of invoice. Invoices are issued as PDF or XRechnung; please provide the routing ID, purchase order and vendor number with the order.
Even when several specialists from the network are involved, it remains one contract and one invoice.
How are the fees set?
For initiatives with several components we prepare a flat-fee proposal; for initiatives lasting three months or more we prefer flat project fees for defined deliverables. The design component is shown separately. The standard rates are in the institute dossier.
For larger mandates we grant a partnership discount on the net fee volume: from €50,000 3%, from €100,000 5%, from €200,000 7.5%. The discount applies to the entire volume and is deducted from the very first invoice; if the volume called off stays below the threshold, we reconcile with the final invoice to the tier actually reached.
Are framework agreements and call-off contingents available?
Yes. For coaching and program modules we agree framework agreements with call-off contingents, central invoicing and an anonymized usage report. Confidentiality toward individual participants remains unaffected and is set out in the contract.
What applies to cancellations and to changing a coach?
Individual sessions can be rescheduled free of charge up to 48 hours in advance, workshops and modules up to two weeks in advance. A coach can be changed without justification and at no extra cost.
How are travel expenses charged?
No travel expenses are charged within the Munich metropolitan region; elsewhere at cost and against receipts.
Which project sizes does MLI cover?
The entry point is usually the survey phase. Beyond that, multi-year architectures for leadership populations from 30 to several hundred people, in parallel at several locations.
In which languages and locations?
German and English throughout, further languages through the network on request. Delivered on site, hybrid or online — the decision is made by effectiveness, not by travel budget.
How long is the lead time?
The survey usually begins four to six weeks after commissioning. For shorter deadlines, please talk to us before you issue a tender.
What about data protection and confidentiality?
Processing in accordance with the GDPR, a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR as standard, data stored in the EU. Survey data are reported in aggregated form only; interview content is reported as patterns and never attributable to individuals.
Which credentials are available for supplier qualification?
Business and professional liability insurance with a certificate of coverage on request, a self-declaration on grounds for exclusion (Sections 123, 124 of the German Act against Restraints of Competition), tax and social security clearance certificates and proof of liability insurance within two business days.
What can you measure us by?
When we agree on a flat fee, that amount stands. We begin with an analysis phase that can be commissioned on its own. If it does not deliver a comprehensible diagnosis and a concrete next step, we do not invoice it.
How is impact demonstrated?
Through a standardized survey before the start and after 12–15 months, using the same version of the questionnaire. The scores go into a report you can present to your governing bodies. We disclose the survey instrument and methodology before the contract is signed.
Can we speak with reference clients?
Yes. We arrange reference calls with comparable clients on request. For reasons of confidentiality, we name individual reference cases only in a personal conversation.
