A flat Deal Structuring Fee activates your raise. A tiered Success Fee is charged only when capital is secured — and the structuring fee is credited straight back against it. The way every serious capital advisor charges.
No monthly fees. No retainers that run forever. You pay once to activate your raise, then a success fee only on a closed deal.
Activates the full engine: DEFLOW™ structuring, capital stack, Investor Ready Pack, NDA-protected investor matching & dispatch, and your deal room. Fully credited against your success fee on close — so if you fund, it effectively costs you nothing.
Charged only when capital is actually secured, tiered by deal size. Less the R15,000 structuring fee you already paid. If your deal doesn't close, no success fee is due.
The larger the raise, the lower the rate — and always cheaper than a traditional bank's Lehman-style fees on large transactions.
| Capital raised | Success fee |
|---|---|
| Up to R25M | 3.0% |
| R25M – R50M | 2.5% |
| R50M – R100M | 2.0% |
| Above R100M | 1.5% |
Success fee is charged on the capital actually raised, on close, less the R15,000 structuring fee already paid. Partner referral commissions (where applicable) are paid by CapitalOS out of its own fee — never added to your cost.
Real numbers, start to finish. No surprises.
You pay R15,000 to start. On close, the success fee is R600,000 and your R15,000 is credited back — so your all-in cost is R600,000 (3% of capital secured). If the deal never closes, you've paid R15,000 and received a complete investor-ready structuring of your raise.
Capital raising is episodic, not continuous — so a monthly subscription makes no sense, and no serious deal intermediary charges one. Investment banks, placement agents, and M&A boutiques universally use a work fee to do the structuring properly, plus a success fee that aligns them with getting you funded. That's exactly what CapitalOS does — and we credit the work fee back, so our incentives sit squarely with yours.
