Costs & Fees
We do not charge any fees for direct purchase or direct joint venture investments via our Investment Grade Bond program given we are in control of the funds to be invested however when working with alternative investors we have to prepare the documents required as well as evaluating a broad spectrum of investors to ensure the project is a fit for their criteria and they are currently active in the market with a mandate to lend and at the levels required.
Initial Overview
- Review available information to determine viability of the proposal and interest to the alternative investors.
- Informal discussions with investors to ascertain levels of interest
- No Fee
Informal Submission
- Execution of Funding Intermediary Agreement
- Meet clients or see project if required (if outside the UK direct expenses charged to client)

Formal Submission

Submission fee $5,000 to $25,000 depending on the complexity and scale of the work, paid in advance. As with all funding intermediaries we charge a success fee in agreement with the investor. Our normal charge is 4% of the agreed facility drawn down at closing.
This however has to be agreed with the investor as we have to ensure it does not impact on the viability of the project to be funded or is contrary to their investment terms. It may be we have to take a view and reduce the success fee if the investor insists.
