5. Engagement Process
5.1 Preliminary Review
Prior to formal engagement, Mora Capital Partners conducts a preliminary review of the prospective transaction at our own risk and cost. We assess whether the transaction is likely to be bankable and whether our structuring expertise can add demonstrable value. We reserve the absolute right to accept or decline any prospective engagement. The preliminary review does not constitute the rendering of services and creates no contractual obligation on either party.
5.2 Formal Engagement
Where we elect to accept an engagement, we enter into a written Capital Advisory and Funding Introduction Mandate Agreement with the client. The mandate is signed by both parties, and the date of countersignature by Mora Capital Partners constitutes the Effective Date. From the Effective Date, the rendering of services and the client's obligation to settle the Packaging and Structuring Fee both arise.
5.3 Execution
Following formal engagement, we proceed with structuring, documentation, funder selection, submission, negotiation co-ordination, and execution support through to financial close.
6. Fee Structure
Our engagements are remunerated through a combination of an upfront Packaging and Structuring Fee and a Success Fee. The specific quantum of each fee is set out in the signed mandate agreement applicable to the relevant engagement.
6.1 Packaging and Structuring Fee
An upfront fee payable on the Effective Date of the mandate, in consideration for our acceptance of the engagement and the commitment of our resources, expertise, relationship capital, and intellectual property. The Packaging and Structuring Fee is non-refundable, including where funding is not ultimately secured, where the client elects not to proceed, or where the client terminates the engagement. Where funding is successfully secured and a Success Fee becomes payable, the Packaging and Structuring Fee is credited in full against the Success Fee then payable.
6.2 Success Fee
A success-based fee calculated as a percentage of the total funding amount secured, approved, committed, or made available through our services. The applicable percentage is specified in the signed mandate agreement. The Success Fee becomes due upon formal funding approval, signing of any loan or facility agreement, financial close, or first disbursement — whichever occurs first.
6.3 General
All fees are quoted exclusive of VAT. Specific commercial terms are governed exclusively by the signed mandate agreement.
7. Non-Circumvention and Tail Period
Mora Capital Partners' introductions and relationships with capital providers constitute proprietary intellectual property. All mandate agreements include comprehensive non-circumvention, non-solicitation, and anti-avoidance provisions protecting Mora Capital Partners against attempts to bypass the firm in dealings with introduced capital providers. Mandate agreements include a Tail Period during which the Success Fee remains payable on any funding arrangement entered into with an introduced capital provider, regardless of the reason for termination. The duration of the Tail Period is specified in the signed mandate agreement.
8. Confidentiality and Data Protection
Mora Capital Partners maintains strict confidentiality with respect to all financial, commercial, operational, strategic, and transaction-related information exchanged during an engagement. Confidential information is disclosed to potential capital providers only to the extent necessary and on a confidential basis. All processing of personal information is conducted in accordance with POPIA. Further detail is in our Privacy Notice at www.moracapitalpartners.com/privacy-notice.
9. Independent Advice
Prospective clients are encouraged to obtain independent legal, financial, and tax advice in respect of any mandate agreement and the fees payable. Mora Capital Partners does not provide legal or tax advice.
10. Transaction Submission
Submit a transaction for preliminary review by emailing a transaction summary and supporting documentation to deals@moracapitalpartners.com. Include where available:
- Company profile and shareholding structure
- Funding requirement, purpose, and proposed structure
- Latest annual financial statements and management accounts
