Ten and twenty
What Ten and Twenty Clients Mean in Rutherford County
The two discount thresholds are ten clients (10% off all monthly and startup fees) and twenty clients (20% off). Set against Rutherford County's pool of 768, they work out as follows for PPC fulfillment for Rutherford County agencies.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 clients (the minimum) | 0.3% | 1.3% | none |

| 10 clients | 1.3% | 6.3% | 10% off |
