Achieving maximum funding transparency and predictability through clearly defined Contract Fee Structures for global trade and investment.
IntaCapital Swiss provides specialised Contract Fee Structures services designed to clearly delineate all costs associated with our structured finance solutions. We ensure complete transparency across all Trade and Investment Support facilities, enabling corporate clients to budget accurately and evaluate the precise cost-efficiency of their non-dilutive capital access.
Understanding Contract Fee Structures
A Contract Fee Structure is the detailed, legally binding outline of all charges, fees, and costs associated with a financial agreement. In traditional finance, these costs can be hidden across several documents (arrangement fees, commitment fees, legal fees, etc.), leading to confusion about the true cost of capital.
Our approach to Contract Fee Structures is to separate the cost of the institutional security (the Collateral Transfer Fee) from the costs charged by the third-party lender (the loan interest and bank fees). This clarity is essential for strategic budgeting, especially when accessing large facilities for complex Trade Support or long-term Investment Support projects.
Why Transparency is Critical for Trade and Investment Support
When engaging in global Trade Support or large-scale Investment Support, managing cost uncertainty is paramount. Unforeseen or opaque fees can erode margins, especially in high-volume trading or long-tenor project finance. The lack of transparency in traditional Corporate Borrowing restricts financial forecasting and complicates decision-making.
IntaCapital Swiss resolves this by ensuring our Contract Fee Structures services are entirely explicit. By providing a clear and predictable fee for the Collateral Transfer Facility—the security mechanism—we offer a fixed, non-fluctuating cost for risk mitigation. This allows your financial planning team to accurately calculate the total cost of your capital access, enabling more competitive pricing and strategic execution of your Trade and Investment Support goals.
Key Benefits of our Contract Fee Structures
- Financial Predictability: Know the exact cost of the Collateral Transfer upfront, eliminating hidden charges and ensuring stable Investment Support.
- Clear Cost Separation: Explicitly differentiates the fee for security (our service) from the interest charged by the lender (the loan cost).
- Optimised Trade Support: Allows for accurate margin calculation in high-volume trade deals by providing a fixed cost for risk enhancement.
- Competitive Cost Comparison: Empowers clients to compare the total cost of our structured Contract Fee Structures services against restrictive traditional bank financing.
- Non-Fluctuating Costs: Our core fees are tied to the principal value of the security, not market fluctuations or regulatory changes.
How We Structure Our Contract Fee Structures
Our process focuses on delivering maximum clarity, separating our service charges from the ultimate loan costs:
- Fee Calculation: We establish a clear, fixed fee structure based on the principal value and tenor of the required institutional collateral (e.g., Bank Guarantee).
- Collateral Agreement: The fee and the terms of the Collateral Transfer are documented in a formal legal contract, establishing the core cost of the Trade Support.
- Lender Negotiation: We provide the client with a clear cost baseline, enabling effective negotiation with the third-party bank to secure the best possible interest rate and facility fee—the final element of the total Contract Fee Structures.
- Integrated Clarity: This transparent separation ensures that all elements of the total Investment Support funding cost are understood and controlled by the client.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Contract Fee Structures a percentage of the loan?
Our primary fee is based on the annual value and tenor of the institutional collateral instrument (e.g., Bank Guarantee), not the interest rate charged by the lending bank. This offers greater certainty for your Trade and Investment Support planning.
What types of fees are included in the Contract Fee Structures services?
They include the agreed-upon Collateral Transfer Fee, plus any external legal or transaction costs. We clearly exclude the interest, arrangement fees, and commitment fees charged by your chosen third-party lender.
Why is it important to separate the costs for Investment Support?
Separating the fee for the security (which is fixed) from the variable interest (which depends on the lender) allows directors to precisely calculate the risk-adjusted cost of their overall Investment Support project.
Does Collateral Transfer always result in lower total costs?
While the Collateral Transfer Fee is an added cost, the reduction in lender risk often results in substantially lower interest rates and less restrictive covenants on the loan, leading to a lower overall cost of Corporate Borrowing compared to high-risk, unsecured facilities.
