For example, if you have a track record with writing business plans or private placement memoranda, the rates paid are close to US. For insight into the rates paid in the UK, see the UK's National Union of Journalists "rate page" at http://www.londonfreelance.org/feesguide/puedirat.html My experience is that an experienced English business writer can command a higher rate from Israeli companies with an English-speaking target audience; from there, the rates increase as to specific expertise.
