Approach
Five phases from mandate to signature. Each has a fixed scope, a deliverable you can use, and a fee agreed before it starts.
- MandateYou appoint us and define the transaction.
- AssayWe verify you, the asset and the structure.
- MemorandumWe prepare the placement memorandum.
- PlacementQualified counterparties only, never a broadcast.
- SignatureNegotiation to signed terms and closing.
The five phases
-
Mandate
A short call, our intake form and your core documents. We confirm within three business days whether we can act, what we need and what the mandate will cost.
You receive a written proposal and the Transaction Mandate Agreement.
- Fee basis
- No charge
-
Assay
We verify you, the asset or requirement, and the proposed structure: identity, authority, title or funds, capacity, compliance and the way money and goods will move.
You receive a readiness report: placeable now, placeable after named steps, or not placeable.
- Fee basis
- Fixed, from EUR 3,500
-
Memorandum
We write the placement memorandum and the term sheet, assemble the data room, and agree with you the list of counterparties to approach and those to exclude.
You approve every document before anyone outside sees it.
- Fee basis
- Included in the placement retainer
-
Placement
We approach qualified counterparties on a no-names basis, verify those who respond, and bring the serious ones to you. Reports every two weeks, and a register of every party introduced.
You meet counterparties who have already passed the assay.
- Fee basis
- Monthly retainer, from EUR 8,500
-
Signature
We carry negotiations to signed heads of terms and coordinate counsel, inspectors and banks through to contract and first performance.
The transaction closes, or you know precisely why it did not.
- Fee basis
- Success fee on closing
What you can expect
- A named partner responsible for your mandate from first call to closing
- Reports every two weeks, in writing
- A register of every counterparty introduced, shared with you as it grows
- A warning when half the agreed hours of a phase are used
- Confidentiality from the first document you send
What we expect
- The principal, not a chain of intermediaries
- Documents within the agreed response time
- Decisions when they are needed
- Payment of each phase before it begins
- Honesty about what you know and what you do not
What we decline
We say no quickly and without discussion. It saves both sides time, and it protects every client whose transaction we do place.
- Goods, funds or parties subject to sanctions, and any structure meant to disguise them
- Nominee arrangements that hide the real buyer, seller or owner
- The release of frozen or blocked funds
- Settlement outside licensed payment channels
- Crypto-asset trading and OTC desks
- Proof-of-funds, MT103 and standby letter of credit monetisation schemes
- Requests where no one is prepared to pay for the assay
Start with a conversation, not a fee.
Qualification is free. If we cannot help, we say so in the first reply.
