We Underwrite
Before You Ask.
Where Institutional Standards Meet Strategic Preparation.
Centurion Global Capital prepares project sponsors to meet the exacting criteria of family offices, multi-family offices, private equity, and private credit — before any outreach begins. We do not negotiate terms. We validate readiness. The difference is everything.
Two Sides of One
Disciplined Process
CGC serves both project sponsors preparing for institutional capital engagement and capital market intermediaries operating under written engagement agreements with CGC.
You have an opportunity.
We build the institutional case for it.
Before a capital provider will engage your project, it must demonstrate institutional credibility — not just commercial merit. CGC prepares your documentation, financial model, capital structure, and diligence package to withstand the scrutiny of sophisticated allocators.
- Independent underwriting review against real institutional criteria
- Institutional-grade financial modeling and scenario analysis
- Documentation strategy aligned to investor diligence standards
- Capital stack optimization and debt-to-equity structuring advisory
- Readiness scoring and written advisory brief before any outreach
You have a mandate.
We prepare sponsors to meet it.
Capital market intermediaries operating under written agreements with CGC receive independently assessed, advisory-brief-supported submissions — not cold unsolicited deal flow.
- Sponsors independently reviewed and readiness-scored before any engagement
- Written advisory brief and readiness score accompany every qualified submission
- Financial models assessed to institutional diligence standards
- Documentation quality evaluated against mandate-specific criteria
- All intermediary engagement governed by written agreements with CGC
CGC does not maintain a public mandate registry. All capital market intermediary engagements are governed by written agreements executed prior to any deal-specific dialogue.
Structured Engagement.
Disciplined Execution.
"We review your materials as if we were the capital provider — before the capital provider ever sees them. That is the only standard that protects both sides of the relationship."
Every CGC engagement begins with a structured underwriting review. We apply the same analytical framework used by institutional allocators to evaluate risk, documentation quality, capital structure coherence, and sponsor credibility.
Complimentary Initial Consultation
An exploratory call to review the project scope, assess institutional fit, and determine whether a structured advisory review is appropriate. Non-binding. No fee.
Document Review & Advisory Brief
Senior-level institutional underwriting review. Independent advisory brief covering capital structure assessment, documentation quality, institutional fit analysis, risk identification, and readiness score. NCNDA executed in portal before document exchange. Delivered within 3–5 business days.
Strategic Advisory Retainer
Ongoing advisory support — refining financial models, developing institutional documentation, preparing sponsor materials. Monthly retainer. Written agreement required. Not contingent on any capital raise.
Consulting Completion Fee
Pre-agreed flat consulting fee upon project close. Not contingent on, indexed to, or computed as a percentage of capital raised. Fixed. Pre-agreed in writing. Non-negotiable at close.
Prepared for the Full
Institutional Spectrum.
CGC's underwriting framework reflects the real evaluation criteria applied by each capital provider category.
Single & Multi-Family Offices
Relationship-driven, discretionary capital with long-term orientation. Highly sensitive to sponsor credibility, governance quality, and documentation discipline.
Private Equity Firms
Buy-side analytical rigor. Return-driven. Sensitive to cap table structure, management alignment, exit clarity, and model defensibility.
Private Credit & Direct Lending
Covenant-sensitive. Collateral-focused. Driven by DSCR, LTV, coverage ratios, and documentation quality.
What We Evaluate
Before You Submit.
- 01Documentation Quality & CompletenessExecutive summary, financial projections, use-of-proceeds, and supporting materials reviewed for institutional credibility and completeness.
- 02Capital Structure CoherenceDebt-to-equity balance, capital stack logic, coverage ratios, LTV positioning, and sponsor economics evaluated against institutional benchmarks.
- 03Financial Model IntegrityAssumption defensibility, scenario analysis, sensitivity testing, and model coherence reviewed to CPA-level analytical standards.
- 04Sponsor Credibility & CommitmentTrack record, equity participation, management team alignment, and sponsor economics assessed against institutional evaluation criteria.
- 05Risk Identification & FramingKey risks identified, categorized, and framed proactively. CGC prepares sponsors for the diligence questions that will be asked.
- 06Mandate Alignment AssessmentProject characteristics evaluated against the criteria, return expectations, geography, and size parameters of the specific capital mandate being targeted.
"A sponsor who is capital-ready — with a curated data room, structured investment memo, and defensible financial model — sends a fundamentally different signal to institutional allocators."
Institutional capital providers receive hundreds of unsolicited submissions. The ones that advance share three characteristics: they are prepared, credible, and respectful of the evaluator's analytical standards. CGC builds that case — systematically, independently, and before any outreach begins.
