national spots, royalties- NEW FRONTIER, HELP!

I've been doing production work and marketing voice talent, as well as on-hold hardware and other products/services for 3 years now. We're moving into a new area, and I really need your advice.

I know what to charge for a 3-minute on-hold spot, leaving plenty of room to properly compensate voice talent and purchase audio, plus to pay myself. Our clients are very pleased with our final product. The problem: We're looking at doing national radio and/or TV voice-overs. What should we charge for a "national buy-out?" What is a competitive price for a 30-second spot for a national campaign requiring us to come up with concept, script, voice, and production?

Finally, we tend to work with non-union talent. What disadvantages, if any, will we face? If one of our talents is union, what do we need to do to protect their status?

Thank you SO much.
