Transparent fee structure

What it costs to work with SGIN

Every fee reflects the institutional-grade work required to bring a sovereign-quality project to market — or to give an investor the confidence to commit capital in a frontier market.

All fees are quoted in USD. Project sponsor fees are invoiced at the stage they are triggered. Investor fees are deducted from transaction proceeds unless otherwise agreed in writing.

For project sponsors

Fees are structured to align SGIN's incentives with your success. You pay for verified work at each stage — not for a listing that goes nowhere.

Initial Screening

No charge

Submit your project application and receive a preliminary eligibility assessment against SOMINVEST's 2026–2030 bankable-project framework. No fee until your project advances.

  • Sector and eligibility check
  • Written eligibility decision within 10 business days
