Notice. This page sets out the commercial basis on which FG Capital Advisors accepts mandates, including consultation fees, engagement fees, reimbursable expenses, payment timing, scope control and client obligations.
Fees And Engagement Disclosure
FG Capital Advisors operates as a retained advisory and execution support firm. Consultations are billed at USD 300 per hour. Execution mandates are accepted under a signed engagement letter and are subject to an engagement fee determined after project review.
Engagement fees are due upon signature, must be received in cleared funds before work begins, and are non-refundable.
1. Consultation Fees
All consultations are billed at USD 300 per hour. This applies to advisory calls, transaction review discussions, structuring consultations, technical work sessions, document walkthroughs and related strategic guidance.
Consultation time is separate from execution work. Where a client instructs us to proceed beyond consultation, the matter moves to a retained engagement structure.
2. Engagement Fee
Execution-oriented mandates are subject to an engagement fee determined after review of the matter. The fee reflects the nature of the assignment, required workstreams, expected duration, documentation burden, jurisdictional complexity and execution intensity.
The engagement fee is due upon signature of the engagement letter. We do not begin work before the mandate has been executed and the required funds have been received in cleared form.
Engagement fees are non-refundable.
3. Staffing And Internal Allocation
Mandates are typically handled by a combination of advisory, analytical, legal, compliance, technical and documentation personnel, depending on the assignment. Structured finance mandates and carbon project development mandates both require coordinated internal allocation rather than ad hoc informal review.
We manage multiple live projects at any given time. Engagement fees allow us to reserve capacity, assign personnel properly and maintain scope discipline across active mandates.
4. Reimbursable Expenses
In addition to consultation fees and engagement fees, clients are responsible for reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the mandate, where applicable.
- third-party legal fees
- notary, apostille, legalization and certification costs
- translation costs
- courier and document handling expenses
- registry, filing or public-record retrieval fees
- technical consultant fees
- GIS, mapping, survey or boundary-review costs
- validator, verifier, auditor or registry-related third-party costs
- travel, accommodation and local transport where in-person attendance is required
- bank charges, wire fees and payment processing costs
- external software, filing or data-room charges required specifically for the mandate
Reimbursable expenses may be billed directly by the relevant third party, passed through at cost or funded in advance where required.
5. Client Expectations
A retained mandate requires timely cooperation from the client. We expect clients to:
- execute the engagement letter promptly once terms are agreed
- pay fees when due
- provide complete and accurate information and documents
- respond to requests, comments and drafts within reasonable timeframes
- identify authorized decision-makers clearly
- notify us promptly of material changes affecting the matter
6. Payment Delays, Scope Changes And Dormancy
Payment delays. Where fees are overdue, we may pause work, defer meetings, suspend deliverables or hold the file in inactive status until the account is brought current.
Scope changes. If the matter expands materially, changes jurisdiction, adds substantial workstreams or otherwise exceeds the assumptions on which the fee was quoted, revised pricing or a new engagement may be required.
Dormancy and reactivation. If a matter becomes inactive and is later reactivated, updated scope, revised fees and a new timeline may be required.
7. Engagement Standard
We accept mandates on the basis of formal contracts, defined scope, paid professional time and documented execution standards. General market skepticism or prior experiences with unrelated parties do not alter our fee policy or mandate requirements.
Before accepting a matter, we assess whether it is sufficiently defined, commercially coherent and ready to proceed through a structured work process.
