Once you have submitted a project to us and our specialist review team has accepted your proposal (project, SPV, portfolio, company etc. hereby project), we will send the project side (developer or advisor) an Agency Services Agreement that details the fees.

When do fees apply?

We operate a success fee model – you only pay when a transaction successfully closes via a PF Nexus introduction. There are no upfront fees, no retainers, and we don't require exclusivity.

Who pays the fee?

For the majority of deals on our marketplace (our 'live' deals), fees are paid by the sell-side (developer or asset owner).

We also have a separate section featuring deals where buy-side firms can opt in to connect, with fees paid on the buy-side in those cases.

Important: In all instances, we only charge one side per transaction. You'll never have both parties charged fees on the same deal.

How are the fees calculated?

Success fees are applied in a waterfall process outlined below. This is typically is a fraction of what is charged by a full advisory service:

  • 2.00% of the Transaction Size falling between $0 and $1,000,000, plus

  • 1.25% of the Transaction Size falling between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000, plus

  • 1.00% of the Transaction Size falling between $5,000,001 and $10,000,000, plus

  • 0.75% of the Transaction Size falling between $10,000,001 and $50,000,000, plus

  • 0.55% of the Transaction Size falling above $50,000,000

How do the fees compare?

When compared to a typical full-service advisory service, our fees represent a small fraction of a typical advisory fee. There are firms that charge ongoing monthly retainers that can total tens of thousands of pounds over typical 6-12 month engagements, on top of 3-4% transaction fees.

Furthermore, our network enables us to provide many more quality matches without any upfront fees. One developer saw "4 times more NBOs from investors via PF Nexus".
