Organization and Nature of Operations | 1. Organization and Nature of Operations Organization Nature of Operations The General Partner of the Partnership is SQN AIF IV GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership’s Investment Manager. Both the Partnership’s General Partner and its Investment Manager are Delaware limited liability companies. The General Partner manages and controls the day to day activities and operations of the Partnership, pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner paid an aggregate capital contribution of $100 for a 1% interest in the Partnership’s income, losses and distributions. The Investment Manager makes all investment decisions and manages the investment portfolio of the Partnership. On January 19, 2015, the Investment Manager, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to acquire the leasing division of Summit Asset Management Limited (“Summit Asset Management”). Upon the acquisition, the Origination and Servicing Agreement between the Investment Manager and Summit Asset Management was terminated. From January 1, 2015, all activities of Summit Asset Management are conducted under SQN Capital Management (UK) Limited (“SQN UK”). Where Summit Asset Management was previously the servicer on transactions sold to the Partnership, SQN UK will now act as servicer. On June 3, 2015, SQN Alpha, LLC (“Alpha”), a special purpose entity which is 32.5% owned by the Partnership and 67.5% owned by SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC (“SQN PAC”), acquired a promissory note with a principal amount equal to $2,650,000. The promissory note accrues interest at the rate of 11.1% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, and matures on June 30, 2020. The promissory note is secured by a pledge of shares in an investment portfolio of insurance companies under common control of the third party which include equipment leases, direct hard assets and infrastructure investments, and other securities. On June 3, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between SQN PAC (“Participation A”), the Partnership (“Participation B”), Alpha and SQN Capital Management, LLC. Under the agreement, Alpha created two collateralized participation interests for the collateral (“Promissory Note”); Participation A’s principal contribution is $1,788,750 and accrues interest at 9% per annum and Participation B’s principal contribution is $861,250 and accrues interest at 15.05% per annum. SQN Capital Management, LLC was appointed as a servicer for the Promissory Note. Participation A’s interest is senior to Participation B’s interest. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Alpha, the Partnership consolidates Alpha into the consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC’s 67.5% investment in Alpha is presented as non-controlling interest on the consolidated financial statements. On December 2, 2015, the Partnership formed a special purpose entity SQN Juliet, LLC (“Juliet”), a limited liability company registered in the state of Delaware which is wholly owned by the Partnership. On December 29, 2015, Juliet entered into a loan agreement with a third party to borrow $3,071,000 for the funding of two loan facilities. The loan accrues interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum and matures on December 29, 2016. On April 22, 2016, this loan was amended and extended as part of the amended participation agreement. On December 31, 2015, Juliet extended two separate loan facilities to two borrowers. The borrowers are both subsidiaries of a UK based parent company that provides small and medium sized secured business loans (“Just Loans”). Each facility provides financing up to a maximum borrowing of £5,037,500 or together a total of £10,075,000 and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The funds can be drawn down in increments of up to £1,000,000 per month per facility with the exception of the first draws which were each in the amount of £1,037,500 in order to fund a certain third party fee of £37,500. The funds can be drawn up to the one year anniversary of the loan facilities or December 31, 2016 (“Availability Date”). The loan is repayable in monthly interest only payments due on the last day of each month. Principal is due nine months after the Availability Date or September 30, 2017 (“Termination Date”). The loans are secured by share pledges of the borrowers, a guaranty from the UK based parent company, and the underlying loan portfolio that Just Loans generates. In February 2016, the loan facilities were amended to include an annual fee, payable within 15 days of end of calendar year, equal to 30% of the interest paid or payable in the immediately preceding calendar year. On December 29, 2015, a participation agreement was entered into between a third party (“Juliet Participation A”), the Partnership (“Juliet Participation B”), and Juliet. In connection with the participation agreement, the Partnership assigned to Juliet various finance leases and equipment notes receivables with a total value equal to $4,866,750. Under the agreement, Juliet created two collateralized participation interests for the underlying loans (“Underlying Loans”); Juliet Participation A’s principal balance is $3,071,000 and accrues interest at 8.5% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance is the value of their assigned finance leases and equipment notes receivable of $4,866,750. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On April 22, 2016, the participation agreement dated December 29, 2015 between Juliet Participation A, Juliet Participation B, and Juliet was amended and restated. In connection with the amended participation agreement, Juliet Participation A funded Juliet cash of approximately $8,511,000 and assigned their interests of approximately $3,986,000 in a loan facility for a wood pellet business in Texas, which along with the outstanding principal payable balance of approximately $2,124,000 on the Just Loans transaction resulted in a Juliet Participation A balance of approximately $14,621,000. Under the amended agreement, Juliet Participation A’s principal balance accrues interest at 6% per annum and Juliet Participation B’s principal balance accrues interest at 12% per annum. Juliet Participation A’s interest is senior to Juliet Participation B’s interest. On December 16, 2015, SQN Marine, LLC (“Marine”), a special purpose vehicle which is wholly owned by the Partnership, entered into a sale and assignment of partnership interest agreement with the Partnership and a third party. Under the terms of the agreement, Marine acquired an 88.20% (90% of 98%) economic interest in a portfolio of container feeder vessels, for an aggregate investment of $28,266,789. Marine contributed cash of $12,135,718 and entered into two loans payable with separate third parties of $7,500,000 and $9,604,091. Marine acquired their economic interest in the vessels through a limited partnership interest in CONT Feeder Portfolio GmbH & Co. KG, a Germany based limited partnership (“CONT Feeder”), which acquired and operates the container feeder vessels, and entered into a separate note payable with an unrelated third party of $14,375,654. Marine bears the risks and rewards of ownership of CONT Feeder and therefore Marine consolidates the financial statements of CONT Feeder. Since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of Marine, the Partnership consolidates Marine into the consolidated financial statements. A third party contributed $3,140,754 to purchase a 10% share of CONT Feeder which is presented as non-controlling interest on the consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s income, losses and distributions are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until the Limited Partners have received total distributions equal to their capital contributions plus an 8% per year, compounded annually, cumulative return on their capital contributions. After such time, all income, losses and distributable cash will be allocated 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner. The Partnership is currently in the Operating Period. The Offering Period concluded on April 2, 2016, which was three years from the date the Partnership was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). During the Operating Period, the Partnership will invest most of the net proceeds from its offering in business-essential, revenue-producing (or cost-saving) equipment, other physical assets with substantial economic lives and, in many cases, associated revenue streams and project financings. The Operating Period began on the date of the Partnership’s initial closing, which occurred on May 29, 2013 and will last for three years unless extended at the sole discretion of the General Partner. The General Partner has extended the Operating Period for an additional one year. The Liquidation Period, which follows the conclusion of the Operating Period, is the period in which the Partnership will sell its assets in the ordinary course of business and will last two years, unless it is extended, at the sole discretion of the General Partner. SQN Securities, LLC (“Securities”), is a Delaware limited liability company and a majority-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. Securities, was the Partnership’s selling agent, and received an underwriting fee of 3% of the gross proceeds from Limited Partners’ capital contributions (excluding proceeds, if any, the Partnership received from the sale of its Units to the General Partner or its affiliates). In addition, the Partnership paid a 7% sales commission to broker-dealers unaffiliated with the General Partner who sold the Partnership’s Units, on a best efforts basis. When the 7% sales commission was not required to be paid, the Partnership applied the proceeds that would otherwise be payable as sales commission toward the purchase of additional fractional Units at $1,000 per Unit. During the Operating Period, the Partnership plans to make quarterly distributions of cash to the Limited Partners, if, in the opinion of the Partnership’s Investment Manager, such distributions are in the Partnership’s best interest. Therefore, the amount and rate of cash distributions could vary and are not guaranteed. The targeted distribution rate is 6.5% annually, paid quarterly as 1.625%, of each Limited Partners’ capital contribution (pro-rated to the date of admission for each Limited Partner). During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Partnership made quarterly cash distributions to its Limited Partners totaling $5,235,647 and $2,500,217, respectively, and accrued $1,504,296 and $1,014,328 respectively, for distributions due to Limited Partners which resulted in a distributions payable to Limited Partners of $1,504,296 and $1,014,328 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Partnership made a cash distribution of $0 and $15,000 to the General Partner during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively; and accrued $57,256 and $29,855, respectively, for distributions due to the General Partner which resulted in a distributions payable to General Partner of $85,116 and $27,860 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.. From May 29, 2013 through April 2, 2016, the Partnership admitted 1,508 Limited Partners with total capital contributions of $74,965,064 resulting in the sale of 74,965.07 Units. The Partnership received cash contributions of $72,504,327 and applied $2,460,737 which would have otherwise been paid as sales commission to the purchase of 2,460.74 additional Units. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Principles of Consolidation Non-controlling interest represents the minority equity holders’ investment in Alpha and CONT Feeder plus the minority’s share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest. Variable interests are investments or other interests that absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) expected losses or receive portions of the Partnership’s expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE. An entity is considered to be a VIE if any of the following conditions exist. (1) The total equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (2) As a group, the holders of equity investments at risk lack any of the three characteristics of a controlling financial interest:(a) The direct or indirect ability through voting or similar rights to make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the legal entity. The equity holders at risk are deemed to lack this characteristic if: i. the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity or rights to receive expected residual returns; and ii. substantially all of the legal entity’s activities are either involved with or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights (b) The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity (c) The right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. An entity that is determined to be a VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance (“Power”) and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“Benefits”). The determination of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary involves complex and subjective analyses. Use of Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has placed these funds in an international financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits. The Partnership, through Summit Asset Management Limited, maintains an unrestricted bank account at a major financial institution in the United Kingdom for purposes of receiving payments and funding transactions in Pound Sterling. Credit Risk Asset Impairments Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition The Partnership leases equipment to third parties and each such lease may be classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease for a finance lease. For an operating lease, initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated. For finance leases, the Partnership records, at lease inception, the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment upon lease termination, the initial direct costs, if any, related to the lease and the related unearned income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on the straight line basis over the lease term. Billed and uncollected operating lease receivables will be included in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. Rental income received in advance is the difference between the timing of the cash payments and the income recognized on the straight line basis. The investment committee of the Investment Manager approves each new equipment lease, financing transaction, and lease acquisition. As part of this process it determines the unguaranteed residual value, if any, to be used once the acquisition has been approved. The factors considered in determining the unguaranteed residual value include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment being considered, how the equipment is integrated into the potential lessees’ business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. Unguaranteed residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Partnership’s policy relating to impairment review. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset will be utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the marketplace are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. The residual value is calculated using information from various external sources, such as trade publications, auction data, equipment dealers, wholesalers and industry experts, as well as inspection of the physical asset and other economic indicators. Finance Lease Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Lease, Notes and Loan Accounts Equipment Notes and Loans Receivable Initial Direct Costs Equity Method — Acquisition Expense Income Taxes The Partnership has adopted the provisions of FASB Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Per Share Data Foreign Currency Transactions Depreciation Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments “ASU 2016-15” In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to Leases Analysis) The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Indemnifications | 17. Indemnifications The Partnership enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is not known. In the normal course of business, the Partnership enters into contracts of various types, including lease contracts, contracts for the sale or purchase of lease assets, and management contracts. It is prevalent industry practice for most contracts of any significant value to include provisions that each of the contracting parties, in addition to assuming liability for breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants that are part of the underlying contractual obligations, to also assume an obligation to indemnify and hold the other contractual party harmless for such breaches, and for harm caused by such party’s gross negligence and willful misconduct, including, in certain instances, certain costs and expenses arising from the contract. Generally, to the extent these contracts are performed in the ordinary course of business under the reasonable business judgment of the General Partner and the Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager knows of no facts or circumstances that would make the Partnership’s contractual commitments outside standard mutual covenants applicable to commercial transactions between businesses. Accordingly, the Partnership believes that these indemnification obligations are made in the ordinary course of business as part of standard commercial and industry practice, and that any potential liability under the Partnership’s similar commitments is remote. Should any such indemnification obligation become payable, the Partnership would separately record and/or disclose such liability in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation Non-controlling interest represents the minority equity holders’ investment in Alpha and CONT Feeder plus the minority’s share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non-controlling interest. Variable interests are investments or other interests that absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s (“VIE”) expected losses or receive portions of the Partnership’s expected residual returns and are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in a VIE that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE. An entity is considered to be a VIE if any of the following conditions exist. (1) The total equity investment at risk is insufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (2) As a group, the holders of equity investments at risk lack any of the three characteristics of a controlling financial interest:(a) The direct or indirect ability through voting or similar rights to make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the legal entity. The equity holders at risk are deemed to lack this characteristic if: i. the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity or rights to receive expected residual returns; and ii. substantially all of the legal entity’s activities are either involved with or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights (b) The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity (c) The right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. An entity that is determined to be a VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance (“Power”) and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from the VIE, that could potentially be significant to the VIE (“Benefits”). The determination of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary involves complex and subjective analyses. |

Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents are held principally at one financial institution and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Partnership has placed these funds in an international financial institution in order to minimize risk relating to exceeding insured limits. The Partnership, through Summit Asset Management Limited, maintains an unrestricted bank account at a major financial institution in the United Kingdom for purposes of receiving payments and funding transactions in Pound Sterling. |

Asset Impairments | Asset Impairments |
Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition | Lease Classification and Revenue Recognition The Partnership leases equipment to third parties and each such lease may be classified as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Initial direct costs are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease for a finance lease. For an operating lease, initial direct costs are included as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated. For finance leases, the Partnership records, at lease inception, the total minimum lease payments receivable from the lessee, the estimated unguaranteed residual value of the equipment upon lease termination, the initial direct costs, if any, related to the lease and the related unearned income. Unearned income represents the difference between the sum of the minimum lease payments receivable plus the estimated unguaranteed residual value, minus the cost of the leased equipment. Unearned income is recognized as finance income over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method. For operating leases, rental income is recognized on the straight line basis over the lease term. Billed and uncollected operating lease receivables will be included in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. Rental income received in advance is the difference between the timing of the cash payments and the income recognized on the straight line basis. The investment committee of the Investment Manager approves each new equipment lease, financing transaction, and lease acquisition. As part of this process it determines the unguaranteed residual value, if any, to be used once the acquisition has been approved. The factors considered in determining the unguaranteed residual value include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of the potential lessee, the type of equipment being considered, how the equipment is integrated into the potential lessees’ business, the length of the lease and the industry in which the potential lessee operates. Unguaranteed residual values are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Partnership’s policy relating to impairment review. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset will be utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the marketplace are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. The residual value is calculated using information from various external sources, such as trade publications, auction data, equipment dealers, wholesalers and industry experts, as well as inspection of the physical asset and other economic indicators. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments “ASU 2016-15” In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to improve consolidation guidance for legal entities (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to Leases Analysis) The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
