Raising Capital with Crowdlender

We work with two kinds of sponsors: companies raising growth or venture debt that want capital without further dilution, and real estate sponsors and operators seeking debt secured by their assets. In both cases, Crowdlender sources accredited investors, organizes the vehicle, and handles investor relations and administration so you can focus on your business.

After an initial review, we underwrite the opportunity, agree on terms, and put the engagement and offering documents in place. Crowdlender organizes a special-purpose vehicle, presents the offering to verified accredited investors, and coordinates escrow and closing through our registered broker-dealer. Once funded, we service the investment and manage investor relations for its full life.

Crowdlender does not just source investors — we handle investor relations, servicing, distributions, and reporting through the entire life of the deal. That means one consolidated investor relationship for you instead of many, ongoing reporting handled on your behalf, and a single point of administration from closing through repayment.

Sponsor-side economics are set per engagement and typically include a one-time setup fee and an ongoing, asset-based management fee covering marketing, investor relations, administration, and asset management. Crowdlender is compensated at the sponsor level, which is why investors pay no platform fee. Exact terms are set out in your engagement agreement.

Offerings are conducted under Regulation D, Rule 506(c), to verified accredited investors. Securities-related activities are conducted through Crowdlender's registered broker-dealer of record, and investor funds are held in independent escrow. The structure and documentation are reviewed by securities counsel and the broker-dealer before the offering goes live.

We will need information to underwrite the opportunity, prepare the offering documents, and satisfy regulatory requirements. Among these, the principals of the issuer must complete bad-actor background checks required under Rule 506(d) — a standard condition of any Reg D offering, which Crowdlender's own principals also complete. Completing this screening is a condition of proceeding to closing.

Timing depends on the complexity of the deal, the completeness of your materials, and the size of the raise. After documents are finalized and the offering is live, capital is raised from our base of verified accredited investors and held in escrow until closing conditions are met. We will give you a realistic timeline for your specific offering during the engagement.

Crowdlender does. We are the single point of contact for investors for the full life of the deal — handling communications, distributions, reporting, and routine servicing — so you are not managing a cap table of individual investors. You deal with one organized vehicle and one administrator.

Primarily private credit — senior, secured real estate debt and structured venture or growth debt — with select equity participations offered alongside debt on specific transactions. The right structure depends on your assets, stage, and objectives, which we work through with you up front.
