How we charge
Every engagement is structured to align our incentives with yours. We recommend the model that best fits your situation — not the one that maximises our fees.
A fixed monthly fee covering agreed advisory hours, deliverables and direct access to the founder. Scope and time commitment agreed upfront.
Best forFractional CFO · Ongoing financial strategy · Pre-fundraise readiness
A fixed fee for a defined scope of work with milestone-based payments. Full engagement from kick-off to delivery. No open-ended billing. No surprises.
Best forFundraising · M&A · Restructuring · Defined deliverables
A contingent fee tied to a defined transaction milestone — financial close, deal signing or capital raised. Typically combined with a reduced retainer.
Best forFundraising closes · M&A completions · Restructuring outcomes
Not sure which model fits your situation? Initial conversations are confidential and without commitment.
Discuss your mandateCommon questions
Yes. Initial discussions are confidential and free of charge. We use them to understand your situation and to be honest about whether we can add value. If we are not the right fit, we will say so — and where possible point you in the right direction.
Three models: a fixed monthly retainer for ongoing advisory, a fixed project fee for defined-scope mandates, and a success fee tied to transaction close, usually combined with a reduced retainer. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.
Mid-market businesses — typically with revenues from around SGD 10 million to SGD 500 million, or the INR equivalent for our India Desk — plus family offices and PE-backed companies. What matters most is not size but complexity: we take mandates where senior, hands-on advisory genuinely changes the outcome.
No. Meridian is an independent advisory firm. We do not lend, hold client monies, place securities, or act as a broker or capital markets intermediary. For debt mandates, all facilities are sanctioned and provided by partner banks, NBFCs and financial institutions at their discretion — our role is to structure, position and arrange.
The founder brings two decades of banking and corporate finance experience in India, with active lender and industry relationships on the ground. Mandates are delivered through a combination of on-the-ground presence in India and Singapore-based execution — with the same founder-led model on both sides of the corridor.
We respond to all enquiries within one business day. A typical debt mandate reaches lender submission within 2–6 weeks of engagement, depending on documentation readiness. Equity and M&A timelines vary with market conditions — we will give you an honest view before you commit.
