I've consulted like this for yrs...the key is charge the sheep enough not to bother you, and you'll have to play this by ear...usually 100-150 depending on the level of patience involved.
Small biz is a gold mine...usually technically ignorant, but educatable. And they can afford it.
2 real quick points,
1. with the exception of close family and very close friends, your time is worth "X"...charge accordingly. Standard "I dunno man...it just isn't right" calls start @ 100 bux
2. evaluate the scane before you agree to do anything, there have been so many networks thrown together by the "CAD" guys down the hall that you never know what you could be getting into.
good luck to you...
hth...
