From the comments so far, I'm hearing that your prospective clients would benefit from knowledgable consulting to help them navigate multiple issues:

- Which payroll companies, if any, will be the best solution for handling international (or even just inter-state within the U.S.) payroll / tax issues?

- What communications technologies and practices work best for various team geographies / network-connection-quality / local-hardware setups?

- What's the optimal frequency, duration, structure, etc. of whole-team face-to-face meetings for teams that are typically distributed?

- What management training is most helpful for managers of all-remote teams, or of teams where only some members are remote?

Another comment about consulting services: Client executives might really benefit from a clear (and accurate) presentation of the different levels of remote-team-collaboration quality that are available at different per-employee price points.

For example: At ($10k initially + $3k/year) per employee, you're likely to avoid problems A, B, and C, but still run into D and E occasionally, depending on team size, using recipe $FOO.

At ($20k initially + $10k/year) per employee, you avoid problems A-D, using recipe $BAR.
