What business proofreading is for

Business proofreading helps organisations present written material clearly and professionally. The focus may be accuracy, tone, consistency, readability or brand-appropriate language, depending on the document.

Editors Portal is designed to help clients make a clearer choice before contacting an editor. Instead of searching for a generic “proofreader” or “editor”, you can start from the document type, the level of support you need and the category of editor most likely to fit the work.

This service is often useful when

  • you are preparing a client-facing document
  • a report, proposal or presentation needs final polish
  • website or marketing copy needs clearer wording
  • multiple contributors have created inconsistent sections
  • you want professional tone and accuracy

What an editor may help with

  • grammar, punctuation and spelling
  • tone and clarity
  • consistent terminology and formatting
  • readability and sentence flow
  • final checks before publication or delivery

Brief the editor clearly

Include your word count, deadline, document type, subject area, English variant and what you are most concerned about. A clearer brief helps editors assess scope and provide more useful responses.

Proofreading or editing?

If the document is already close to final, proofreading may be enough. If the writing still feels unclear, repetitive, awkward or poorly structured, editing may be the better option. Many clients use editing first and proofreading later, especially for important or long-form documents.

How much does business proofreading cost?

Cost depends on word count, document condition, deadline, service level and editor experience. A detailed brief usually produces a more accurate response.

Can I ask for a fast turnaround?

Yes, but include your exact deadline and word count. Urgent work may limit availability and affect pricing.

Do I need to know the exact service name?

No. Explain what you need improved and editors can help clarify whether proofreading, copyediting or more detailed editing is suitable.
