IMFPA Preparation and Fee Protection

Who this service is for

Multi-party transactions with agreed fee arrangements. Prepare appropriate multi-party fee-protection and distribution arrangements.

What TBH prepares or reviews

Scoped IMFPA draft and distribution conditions. The commissioned scope determines which records or documents are included.

Allocations and payment waterfall

Identify the paying principal, fee holders and beneficiaries. Reconcile each allocation with the overall fee basis, currency, transaction reference and authorised payment instructions. Agree the order of distribution and how changes are approved.

Payment conditions and responsibility

Execution and payment depend on the actual agreement. Identify settlement conditions, evidence of completion and the person responsible for distribution. An IMFPA does not automatically instruct a bank, create unconditional entitlement or carry universal enforceability or ICC endorsement.

Terminology

The product remains IMFPA Preparation Service. International and Irrevocable are both encountered in document wording; the executed terms and transaction context govern, rather than the acronym alone.

Information needed

Parties, genealogy, entitlements, settlement and payment instructions. Start with a summary and identify missing material. Use an agreed controlled channel for sensitive evidence.

Scope and review process

Define the requested outcome, provide complete instructions, agree the work and review stages, then resolve identified gaps. Check the current Whop listing before purchase. Work outside the confirmed scope requires separate agreement.

Limitations

Subject to executed agreements and settlement; no automatic payment. Transaction-specific professional advice may be needed; preparation is not an assurance that another party will accept the document or proceed.

Questions before commissioning

Before purchase, confirm the actual listing and scope. Which of the preparation points below remain unresolved? Which materials can you supply now, which require a controlled submission channel, and who is authorised to approve the result? A purchase starts the relevant service pathway; it does not settle missing commercial terms or confer transaction approval.

Priority handling

Priority handling is an add-on for eligible work. Complete inputs, available capacity and written timing confirmation are required; no fixed turnaround is promised.

Identify the fee holders and payment relationship

The supplied references contain both consultant-to-consultant and principal-to-principal structures. Identify which relationship applies; do not treat the instrument label as the payment instruction. Trigger and survival provisions must be reconciled with the actual transaction and signed agreements. Use controlled submission for account details.

• Distinguish principal obligations from consultant distribution arrangements.
• Record disclosed participants, reporting relationships and allocations.
• Agree the calculation basis, trigger and payment responsibility.
• Resolve how schedule changes and incomplete transactions will be handled.
