Passage explaining the composition of a trust administration company's turnover

Le chiffre d'affaire de XXXX est composé des forfaits d'administration, des honoraires facturés relatifs au temps passé sur les dossiers, ainsi que les différentes rétrocessions......etc. etc.

administrative costs / charges


Explanation:
Couldn't it simply mean administrative costs incurred during the year? It would seem to fit with the next part of the sentence about expenses incurred.

Just an idea...

Asker: No, this wouldn't work - it's about income (turnover) not expenses. The next part is about fee income billed on a "time spent" basis

administrative plans/packages


Explanation:
I believe I saw "administrative plans" (or "administrative packages") while surfing, though I can't find it now. Would it fit your context?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, this makes sense - at the moment (I could be persuaded to change my mind) I am inclined to translate it is "fixed professional fees" or very similar


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Constantinos Faridis (X): Le forfait administration est un forfait payable par trimestre ou par semestre. Il implique un engagement minimal d'un an par contrat renouvelé tacitement

  -> Merci Constantinos
agree  Sheila Wilson: actions that are charged by the unit rather than by time spent on them
37 mins
  -> Thanks Sheila, though I'm not sure they have to be flat rate fees.
agree  Kiwiland Bear: I must admit I was puzzled for a moment by fees included in the turnover. But if you figure it's the company that provides the service than it makes sense.

flat management fees


Explanation:
FR "administration" of a business is generally translated as EN "management", not EN "administration". The previoous repliers neglected the "flat" component of "forfait"
