Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
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 condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC’s 67.5% investment in Alpha is presented as non-controlling interest on the condensed 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 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 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 March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) for $6,416,092. In connection with the novation agreement, the Termination Date was extended to September 30, 2018. Management is currently in the process of extending this loan. 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 March 29, 2017, Juliet entered into a deed of novation agreement to novate 85% of this loan note to SQN Asset Finance (Ireland) Designated Activity Company (“SQN AFI”) and on March 31, 2017, Juliet received cash proceeds of $6,416,092 from SQN AFI for the 85% interest. The loan note had a net book value of $6,273,670 resulting in a U.S. GAAP gain of $142,422. On March 31, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $374,610 to the Just Loans borrowers. On April 28, 2017, the Partnership advanced a total of $370,187 to the Just Loans borrowers. 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. On January 7, 2015, the Partnership acquired a junior participation interest in a portfolio of eight helicopters for $1,500,000. The Partnership, SQN PAC, SQN Asset Finance Income Fund Limited (“SQN AFIF”), a Guernsey incorporated closed ended investment company, a fund managed by the Partnership’s Investment Manager and a third party formed a special purpose entity SQN Helo whose sole purpose is to acquire the helicopter portfolio. SQN Helo is the sole owner of eight special purpose entities each of which own a helicopter. The purchase price of the helicopter portfolio was approximately $23,201,000 comprised of approximately $11,925,000 of cash payments and the assumption of approximately $11,276,000 of nonrecourse indebtedness. SQN PAC also acquired a junior participation interest in SQN Helo for $1,500,000. The senior participation interests in SQN Helo were acquired by SQN AFIF and the third party. The Partnership and SQN PAC each owned 50% of SQN Helo. The Partnership accounted for its investment in SQN Helo using the equity method. In November 2016, a lessee of five helicopters filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 and restructured the leases. As of December 31, 2016, the Partnership had advanced a total of $1,465,000. On January 19, 2017, the Partnership bought a debt position of a third party lender to SQN Helo for $3,325,506, which increased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 76%. On September 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Partnership received a distribution from SQN Helo of $249,287 and $250,000, respectively, which decreased the Partnership’s controlling financial interest in SQN Helo to 75%. As a result of the increase in the Partnership’s controlling financial interest and since the Partnership bears the primary risks and rewards of SQN Helo, the Partnership consolidates SQN Helo into the condensed consolidated financial statements. SQN PAC owns a 25% share of SQN Helo which is presented as due to SQN Portfolio Acquisition Company, LLC on the condensed 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 Liquidation 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 concluded on May 29, 2017. The Liquidation Period, which began on May 30, 2017, 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”), a Delaware limited liability company, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Partnership declared and made cash distributions to its Limited Partners totaling $1,489,247. The Partnership did not make a cash distribution to the General Partner during the nine months ended September 30, 2018; and accrued $14,892 for distributions due to the General Partner which resulted in a distributions payable to General Partner of $129,573 at September 30, 2018. From May 29, 2013 through September 30, 2018, the Partnership has 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 or (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 condensed 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.

Related Party Transactions | 3. Related Party Transactions The General Partner is responsible for the operations of the Partnership and the Investment Manager makes all investment decisions and manages the investment portfolio of the Partnership. The Partnership pays the General Partner a fee for organizational and offering costs not to exceed 2% of all capital contributions received by the Partnership. Because organizational and offering expenses will be paid, as and to the extent they are incurred, organizational and offering expenses may be drawn disproportionately to the gross proceeds of each closing. The General Partner also has a promotional interest in the Partnership equal to 20% of all distributed distributable cash, after the Partnership has provided an 8% cumulative return, compounded annually, to the Limited Partners on their capital contributions. The General Partner has a 1% interest in the profits, losses and distributions of the Partnership. The General Partner will initially receive 1% of all distributed distributable cash, which was accrued at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Partnership pays the Investment Manager during the Offering Period, Operating Period and the Liquidation Period a management fee equal to or the greater of, (i) 2.5% per annum of the aggregate offering proceeds, or (ii) $125,000 monthly, until such time as an amount equal to at least 15% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions have been returned to the Limited Partners, after which the monthly management fee will equal 100% of the management fee as initially calculated above, less 1% for each additional 1% of the Partnership’s Limited Partners’ capital contributions returned to them. Such amounts are measured on the last day of each month. The management fee is paid regardless of the performance of the Partnership and will be adjusted in the future to reflect the total equity raised. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Partnership paid $375,000 in management fee expense to the Investment Manager.

Indemnifications | |
Indemnifications | 15. 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 Investment Manager, no liability will arise as a result of these provisions. The General Partner and Investment Manager know 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. |

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 or (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 condensed 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. |

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. |
