Our Capital Raising Process

We structure each mandate around three clear phases, ensuring transparency, momentum, and accountability.

Phase 1 – Mandate & Fundraising Readiness

Objective: Position the company or fund for a credible raise

  • Capital structure and fundraising strategy
  • Deal sizing and investor targeting
  • Review and refinement of key materials
  • Readiness assessment against investor expectations

📌 Outcome: Clear fundraising strategy and investor-ready positioning

Phase 2 – Investor Sourcing & Engagement

Objective: Identify and engage aligned investors

  • Longlist and shortlist of relevant investors
  • Warm outreach and targeted introductions
  • Management of early-stage investor interest
  • Coordination of first meetings and follow-ups

📌 Outcome: A pipeline of qualified investors expressing active interest

Phase 3 – Transaction Execution & Closing

Objective: Convert interest into committed capital

  • Support during due diligence and Q&A
  • Assistance with term sheets and negotiations
  • Coordination with legal, financial, and impact advisors
  • Closing support and post-investment alignment

📌 Outcome: Signed investment agreements and successful close

Fees & Commercial Terms

Our fees reflect European market standards for impact advisory, balancing commitment, alignment, and performance.

1. Retainer Fee (Phased)

The retainer covers strategic and execution work and is split across the three phases:

  • 1/3 upon mandate signature
  • 1/3 upon identification and engagement of investors expressing concrete interest
  • 1/3 upon deal execution / signing

Retainers typically range from CHF 20,000 to CHF 60,000, depending on:

  • transaction complexity
  • geography
  • size of the raise
  • readiness of the client

2. Success Fee (Transaction-Based)

Success fees are payable only upon capital raised, ensuring alignment.

Indicative success fee bands:

These ranges are fully in line with European impact advisory boutiques, including specialist firms operating in Switzerland, the UK, France, and the Netherlands.

3. Optional Transaction Advisory

Where required, 4IP Group can extend its role beyond capital raising to provide:

  • Due diligence coordination
  • Financial and impact structuring support
  • Shareholder agreement review (in coordination with legal counsel)
  • Governance and post-investment alignment

These services are scoped separately on a fixed-fee or daily-rate basis.

Why 4IP Group

Clients work with 4IP Group because we offer:

  • Credibility with impact investors (DFIs, family offices, foundations)
  • Real transaction experience, not just advisory theory
  • Strong presence in Switzerland, Europe’s leading impact investing hub
  • Deep understanding of emerging markets, especially Africa
  • Alignment of incentives through success-based remuneration

We do not run volume-driven mandates.
We work with founders and fund managers who are serious about raising capital and building long-term value.


Capital Raising (investment matchmaking)

The fact of the matter is that Africa is one of the toughest and least forgiving capital raising environments, and the time and effort spent on it has ‘killed’ or at least really held back many great teams and ideas.
