CGC serves both project sponsors preparing for institutional capital engagement and capital market intermediaries operating under written engagement agreements with CGC. The same rigorous underwriting standard governs both relationships.
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. We review everything before they do.
CGC's advisory process prepares sponsor submissions against institutional standards before any engagement occurs. Capital market intermediaries operating under written agreements with CGC receive independently assessed, advisory-brief-supported submissions — not cold unsolicited deal flow. Every sponsor has been through the CGC underwriting process.
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. CGC does not receive compensation in connection with any introduction between a sponsor and a capital provider. Advisory fees are fixed and non-contingent.
CGC occupies a precise and legally defined position in the capital markets advisory landscape. We are an independent advisory firm that applies institutional-grade underwriting standards to every engagement — on behalf of the sponsor and fully independent of any capital provider.
Every project is evaluated against the specific criteria applied by institutional capital providers — not a generic standard. If a deal does not fit a known mandate, we say so before you spend time or capital on outreach.
CGC does not hold positions in sponsor transactions, receive placement fees, or maintain any financial relationship with capital providers outside of separately executed written advisory agreements. Our independence is structural — not claimed.
Every CGC fee is flat, pre-agreed, and never tied to whether a deal closes, capital is raised, or any outcome occurs. This is not a semantic distinction — it is the legal and operational foundation of our advisory model.
Financial due diligence and risk advisory is led by Edward Gleason, MBA, CPA — applying accounting-level analytical rigor to every engagement. Individual CPA credential, advisory basis only. CGC is not a licensed CPA firm.
CGC's methodology reflects decades of buy-side M&A, corporate finance, and private equity transaction experience across three continents. We evaluate deals the way sophisticated allocators do — not the way placement agents sell them.
The CGC Capital Readiness Portal manages every stage of sponsor intake, NCNDA execution, document review, readiness scoring, and advisor communication — creating a transparent, authenticated, auditable record of every engagement.
"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. Only projects that meet institutional standards advance beyond Stage One. This discipline is not a filter — it is a service.
An exploratory call to review the project's high-level scope, assess potential institutional fit, and determine whether a structured advisory review is appropriate. Non-binding. No commitment required from either party. No fee.
Senior-level institutional underwriting review of sponsor-provided materials. CGC prepares an independent advisory brief covering: capital structure assessment, documentation quality evaluation, institutional fit analysis, risk identification, and a readiness score. An NCNDA is executed within the authenticated portal before any document exchange. Written feedback or advisory call delivered within 3–5 business days. Fee is flat, non-refundable, and covers advisory time only — not capital placement, fundraising, or any securities activity.
For projects that advance past Stage One, CGC provides ongoing advisory support to address readiness gaps identified in the initial brief — refining financial models, developing institutional documentation, and preparing sponsor materials to the standard required for capital engagement. Monthly retainer. Scope and fee documented in a separate written consulting agreement. Not contingent on any capital raise.
A pre-agreed flat consulting fee applicable upon project close, compensating CGC for the totality of advisory services rendered throughout the engagement. This fee is not contingent on, indexed to, or computed as a percentage of capital raised or any transaction outcome. Fixed. Pre-agreed in writing. Non-negotiable at close. All amounts are compensation for advisory services rendered — not transaction-based compensation of any kind.
CGC's underwriting framework reflects the real evaluation criteria applied by each capital provider category. We prepare sponsors for the specific analytical questions, documentation standards, and structural requirements each mandate demands.
Relationship-driven, discretionary capital with long-term orientation. Highly sensitive to sponsor credibility, governance quality, and documentation discipline. CGC prepares sponsors for the informal but rigorous evaluation process of family office allocators.
Buy-side analytical rigor. Return-driven. Sensitive to cap table structure, management alignment, exit clarity, and model defensibility. CGC applies PE-grade underwriting to every financial model and documentation package.
Covenant-sensitive. Collateral-focused. Driven by DSCR, LTV, coverage ratios, and documentation quality. CGC prepares sponsors to demonstrate the financial discipline and asset support that private credit underwriters require.
"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.
Every project that completes a Stage One review receives a written readiness assessment with specific advisory guidance and a readiness score against CGC's four-component institutional framework.
CGC's managing directors bring combined decades of experience from the buy side of institutional capital markets — M&A, corporate finance, private equity, and institutional transaction analysis across three continents.
Derek Anderson leads business development, sponsor engagement, and intermediary relations at Centurion Global Capital. With over two decades of experience in international finance and private capital markets, Derek is the primary point of contact for prospective sponsors and capital market intermediaries. His approach is grounded in discretion, preparation, and institutional alignment — ensuring every engagement is appropriately scoped before advisory work begins.
Edward Gleason leads financial modeling, due diligence advisory, and capital readiness analysis. His career spans Arthur Andersen, Kinnevik AB, Dow Jones & Company, Capgemini, and JPMorgan Chase — across M&A, corporate development, private equity, and institutional transaction analysis on three continents.
