No single factor decides it — scope, materials, access and timing all move the total, and the biggest swings usually come from access and scheduling. Local providers in Dover can confirm how that applies to your area.
Is Business Consulting cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. In Dover, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit.
