The FEP Executive Tier System™
A Proprietary Approach to Executive Protection
At François Executive Partners, we believe trust begins with transparency. That philosophy led us to create The FEP Executive Tier System™, a proprietary framework unique to our firm. No other executive protection company offers this model.
Traditionally, clients seeking protection are asked to request a custom quote before learning what coverage may cost. While this approach is common, it can leave clients uncertain and complicate budgeting. At FEP, we take a different path.
Our Executive Tier System™ publishes clear, flat-rate pricing for every level of service. This structure eliminates guesswork, provides predictable figures for planning, and ensures consistency for every client. Costs are based on the scope of protection delivered, never on personal profile or circumstances.
Flat-rate pricing offers three advantages:
- Predictability: Clients can budget confidently, knowing the cost of each engagement in advance.
- Consistency: Every client receives the same transparent rate for the same level of service.
- Confidence: No hidden fees, no hourly overtime charges, no surprises.
Every tier also includes medical readiness as a standard feature, giving clients peace of mind that their protection team can respond to emergencies with the same precision and professionalism that define The FEP Standard™.
And while each tier is comprehensive, we recognize that some clients have unique needs. That is why FEP offers add-ons for specialized requests such as armored vehicles, exotic transport, or additional agents. These options allow clients to customize their protection without sacrificing the clarity and predictability of our core model.
With The FEP Executive Tier System™, protection becomes what it should be: clear, consistent, and built entirely around the client.
