The verdict in three sentences
For a private equity firm in Monaco, the website must convince, within minutes, a founder considering a sale, an intermediary bringing deals and a senior candidate, without ever looking like a solicitation of investors. A Monaco agency charges 20,000 to 50,000 EUR for this kind of site in 2026, and a premium Riviera agency up to 120,000 EUR, while Kolonell's fixed grid runs from 2,700 EUR (Starter) to 8,200 EUR (Premium). Over three years, the real gap depends mostly on hidden costs: photography, translations, compliance review, investor portal and maintenance.
What a fund website really costs in Monaco
| Option | Build (EUR excl. VAT, 2026 ballpark) | Timeline | Typical profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelancer (Monaco, Nice, remote) | 6,000 to 15,000 | 6 to 10 weeks | Polished design, content supplied by you |
| Monaco agency | 20,000 to 50,000 | 2 to 4 months | Proximity, in-person meetings, local network |
| Premium Riviera or Paris agency | 50,000 to 120,000 | 3 to 6 months | Brand, art direction, full copywriting |
| Kolonell Starter | 2,700 | 3 to 4 weeks | Compact institutional site |
| Kolonell Growth | 4,500 | 3 to 4 weeks | Strategy, portfolio, team, news, native copy |
| Kolonell Premium | 8,200 | 4 to 6 weeks | The multilingual tier, languages set in the quote, advanced animations |
Local ranges based on typical agency quotes and public agency rate pages. Every Kolonell tier includes a project manager reachable in Monaco's time zone, native French or English copywriting, delivery in 3 to 4 weeks (Premium 4 to 6) and 3 months of support. The gated investor portal, integrations (deal flow CRM, data room) and maintenance after the 3 included months are priced on quote. Details on the international offer.
The pages a private equity site must prove
A Monaco fund addresses French, Italian, British and international audiences who value discretion. The site shows only what can be shown:
- Strategy and investment thesis: sectors, geographies, stage (growth capital, buyouts, minority or majority).
- Ticket size: a clear range filters out off-target deals and saves intermediaries time.
- Portfolio: only real holdings, with written consent from the companies' management; an exited holding can stay listed if the agreement allows it.
- Value creation: operational approach, support for management teams, governance.
- Team: partners' backgrounds, investment committee, advisers.
- Deal flow contact: a form dedicated to sellers and intermediaries, separate from general contact.
- Legal notices and personal data: Monaco has its own data protection legislation and its own supervisory authority, distinct from the GDPR; your privacy policy must reflect this, especially if you also target people in the European Union.
Communication with limited partners is another matter: depending on the jurisdictions targeted, fund marketing is regulated (AIFMD rules in the European Union, specific rules in Switzerland or the United States), hence a separate LP area behind an appropriate disclaimer. This is not legal advice.
Hidden costs and total cost over three years
Comparison over 36 months for a site in French, English and Italian. Every line other than the build is a market assumption.
| Item | Monaco agency | Kolonell Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 45,000 | 8,200 |
| Team and office photography | 4,000 (market assumption) | 4,000 (market assumption) |
| Reviewed Italian translation | 2,000 (market assumption) | 2,000 (market assumption) |
| External legal and compliance review | 3,000 (market assumption) | 3,000 (market assumption) |
| Maintenance | 14,400 over 36 months at 400 a month (market assumption) | 13,200 over 33 months at 400 a month after the 3 included months (market assumption, Kolonell on quote) |
| Hosting and security | 1,800 (market assumption) | 1,800 (market assumption) |
| Total over 3 years | 70,200 | 32,200 |
The 38,000 EUR gap comes almost entirely from the build. Third-party items stay the same: they do not disappear when you change provider, and a quote that leaves them out is simply incomplete.
When a Monaco agency is the better choice
Choose a local agency if your partners want in-person workshops in the Carré d'Or, if the project comes with a complete new brand identity, or if the LP portal must ship with the site and connect to your fund administrator. Proximity and knowledge of Monaco's business community then carry real value.

Questions to ask any provider: who writes the strategy and team pages, and have they worked for a fund before? How is consent for listed holdings handled? Is the deal flow form separate and secure? Which third-party costs are missing from the quote? Who owns the domain and access when the contract ends?
Mini case study
Illustrative example: Port Hercule Partners, an 8-person buyout firm in Monaco writing tickets of 5 to 25 million euros, receives a local quote of 38,000 EUR. It chooses Kolonell Growth at 4,500 EUR, a photo shoot at 3,000 EUR (market assumption) and an external legal review at 2,500 EUR (market assumption), for 10,000 EUR in total. The 28,000 EUR saving covers a large share of an LP portal priced on quote. If the deal flow form brings two more qualified deals per quarter, or 8 a year, the acquisition cost per site-sourced deal falls to 1,250 EUR in year one.
FAQ
How much does a new website cost for a private equity firm in Monaco?
In 2026, a Monaco agency charges 20,000 to 50,000 EUR excl. VAT and a premium agency up to 120,000 EUR (ballpark). Kolonell's grid is fixed: 2,700, 4,500 or 8,200 EUR depending on the tier.
Can we show our portfolio?
Yes, only real holdings and with written consent from their management. A portfolio of 6 to 12 approved logos convinces more than a long unauthorised list.
Does the site need to be multilingual?
In Monaco, French and English are almost always expected, and Italian is often useful. Kolonell Premium is the multilingual tier, with languages set in the quote, delivered in 4 to 6 weeks.
Is the investor portal included?
No, the gated LP area and integrations with a data room or fund administrator are priced on quote. The 3 months of support after launch are included in every tier.
What costs should we plan beyond the build?
Photography, reviewed translations, legal review and maintenance: allow 10,000 to 25,000 EUR over three years depending on the market assumptions used above.
