I am about to start up on my own. How do you charge out for incidentals? A subject goes into a restaurant and you have to follow, when there you have to order something to blend in.

How do you charge this to your client? Same with a few beers at a pub to blend in, or coffee at a coffee shop as you have to blend in to continue with the surveillance.

Does it depend on the amount of the item purchased or do you just charge a flat rate per day for surveillance?

Do you also charge per km when on surveillance or is it based on a radius from your office. So much for 50km radius and then so much for 50 to 100km etc.

Thanks in advance for all the guidance. I appreciate you. Any charging tip would be appreciated. Qld Australia.
