That totally depend on what it is you are trying to create, could you elaborate and maybe folks here who has experience in product development can help or maybe they can offer a good resource.

NeedToKnow,
 
Are you basically asking what will it cost to do the whole project for you, from start to finish?
 
I sent you a message, please read.  Thanks.

Why not ask one or more. But beware, I`ve heard many stories of  `invention development` companies that will take your bucks and do little or nothing. Find one that has experience in the product and market area you are working in. Be sure to ask for references and call them. Make sure the reference isn`t an employee of the development firm posing as someone else. If these firms want your business, they will give you some assurances. Make sure you pay as milestones are achieved, not all up front. Better yet, give some cash along the way and a small percentage of your profits ongoing, if they`ll go for it.
 
Sorry to be negative, but I hate inexperienced people getting taken advantage of.
 
Best of Success to You!

scottg is right!
 
I`m one of the lucky ones who were taken, it`s a hard lesson to learn.  Not to mention expensive!
