Approval Guidelines

Charleston Commercial Listings’ software and algorithms use these recommended guidelines to automatically assign a score and match deals to investor criteria.

  1. Sponsor Contribution

    The sponsor contribution should be greater than 10% of the total equity required for the deal. Contributing below 10% of your own money will make it more difficult to attract investors. Riskier asset types, business plans, and development projects should include greater than 10% sponsor equity contribution.

  2. Sponsor As Principal

    The sponsor should remain in the deal as a principal after the equity investor's capital is contributed. Charleston Commercial Listings should not be used by sponsors to "flip" deals or sell contracts to buyers. Charleston Commercial Listings is not a multiple listing service.

  3. Sponsor Control of Deal

    The sponsor should control the project for which they are requesting equity. Sponsors should consider waiting until they have executed a Letter of Intent, Purchase and Sale agreement, or other form of control over the deal before adding it to the Charleston Commercial Listings Exchange.

  4. Sponsor Lender Relationship

    The sponsors should first speak with their prospective lenders and have an understanding of mortgages and terms available before adding deals to Charleston Commercial Listings . For deals in which the lender is not yet selected, the sponsor should be able to demonstrate strong banking relationships in an effort to demonstrate certainty of close.

  5. Sponsor Days to Funding

    The sponsor should add the deal to Charleston Commercial Listings as early as possible in an effort to allow investors sufficient time to properly review the deal on Charleston Commercial Listings, to arrange discussions and negotiations, to perform due diligence, and to complete the legal work involved with a transaction closing. Charleston Commercial Listings should be used as a first step in the equity capital raising process and not as a last minute "hope". Sponsors should consider adding deals with a minimum 30 days to funding, and are strongly urged to allow 45 to 60 days.

  6. Sponsor's Written Description of Investment Opportunity

    The sponsor's written description of their project should include a clear, concise overview of the opportunity. Meaningless statements or "filler" text is strongly discouraged.

  7. Sponsor Deal Pictures

    The sponsors should include at least one picture of the property because investors that are not local to the deal will be unable to quickly and easily see the property themselves. Pictures of the property, pictures of the location, and additional supporting images such as aerials, site maps, and floor plans are all helpful to investors.

  8. Sponsor Member Profile

    The sponsors should complete their member profiles honestly, accurately, and completely. While Charleston Commercial Listings requires only a minimum amount of information to be completed before sponsors are allowed to add a deal to Charleston Commercial Listings, sponsors should make every effort to complete more than the minimum in an effort to "introduce" themselves to investors.
