shouldn't require a corporate budget.
Small businesses in international trade have always faced the same disputes as global corporations — but have been entirely priced out of professional resolution. TheNeutrals.ORG™ fixes this. Fixed-fee mediation from $2,500. Certified neutral assigned in 48 hours. Resolution targeted in 60 days. In your language. Enforceable in 56+ countries. The same standard used by Fortune 500 companies — now accessible to every business.
You've earned the right to a professional resolution.
When a small business has a $50,000 dispute with a supplier in another country, the options have always been grim: expensive international arbitration that costs more than the claim, domestic litigation that can't reach the counterparty, or walking away from a legitimate debt. None of these are acceptable.
TheNeutrals.ORG™ was founded on the conviction that access to professional dispute resolution should not depend on the size of your legal department. Our SME Cross-Border Programme gives small and mid-size businesses the same quality of certified neutral, the same INDS™-structured evaluation process, and the same Singapore Convention enforcement — at a price that reflects the scale of the dispute, not the cost of the institution.
"The Neutral's duty is not to decide who wins, but to help everyone see what is true." — Foundational Ethos of TheNeutrals.ORG™
From filing to settlement in 60 days or less.
A structured, INDS™-aligned process designed specifically for SMEs — no legal complexity, no surprise billing, no delays. The same systematic rigour as every TheNeutrals.ORG™ evaluation, scaled to the size and nature of your dispute.
Transparent pricing. No surprises. Scaled to your dispute.
All fees are all-inclusive — the neutral's time, the digital hearing platform, and TheNeutrals.ORG™'s administration. One fee. Agreed before you start. No billing surprises.
