Retainer

An arrangement in which a client pays under agreed terms for ongoing services, reserved availability or an advance against future work. It is not always a monthly subscription or a block of hours. Scope, timing, unused capacity and additional work depend on the agreement; accounting and legal treatment require appropriate review.
