How to Structure a Late-Career Consulting Agreement

Episode 25 of Late-Career Conversations with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna break down the art of structuring a consulting agreement when you transition from employee to independent expert after 50. They walk through a real case: a 58-year-old former supply chain VP who landed a 12-month fractional consulting gig with a mid-size manufacturer. Lucas explains the three essential clauses—scope of work, payment terms, and liability caps—and why a simple one-page memo often beats a 20-page contract. Luna asks the practical questions: How do you set your rate? What about non-competes? When should you walk away? They also discuss the psychology of shifting from a salary mindset to a fee-for-value mindset. If you are over 50 and thinking about consulting as a second act, this episode gives you the concrete framework to start with. #ConsultingAgreement #LateCareer #FractionalWork #ConsultingRates #ContractNegotiation #ScopeOfWork #LiabilityCaps #NonCompete #SupplyChain #IndependentConsultant #SecondAct #CareerTransition #Business #Finance #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EncoreCareer Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
