Advisory Overview

Not a lender. Not a broker-dealer. An experienced intermediary.

Spaulding Capital Partners operates as an independent capital markets advisory firm serving sponsors, developers, operators, and CRE brokers who require creative financing solutions across the mid-market commercial real estate landscape. We are not a lender. We are not a broker-dealer. We are an experienced, independent intermediary who understands how capital is structured, how lenders underwrite, and how to engineer solutions for transactions that fall outside conventional parameters.

Our advisory practice handles debt placement and capital structuring for transactions ranging from $5M to $50M across all major commercial real estate asset classes, nationwide.

Who We Serve

Built for principals who require structuring, not order-taking.

Sponsors & Borrowers

You have a transaction that needs more than a standard term sheet. Whether you are refinancing, recapitalizing, or structuring a new acquisition or development, we bring the structuring expertise and lender relationships to engineer a capital solution around your specific needs — not the other way around.

Developers

You are executing and need a capital partner who speaks your language. We understand ground-up development, construction timelines, lease-up risk, and what lenders need to see to get comfortable. We bridge the gap between what you need and what the market will provide.

CRE Brokers

You have a client with a financing need that falls outside what conventional lenders will touch. We serve as your trusted capital markets resource — a partner you can bring to the table on complex transactions where structuring expertise makes the difference between a closed deal and a dead one.

What We Do

A full capital stack toolkit engineered to close.

Bridge & Senior Debt Placement

Bank, debt fund, and private credit executions across ground-up construction, bridge-to-stabilization, and value-add scenarios. We source competitive senior debt for transactions that require speed, certainty of close, and terms that reflect the actual risk profile of the asset.

Mezzanine & Preferred Equity Structuring

Structured subordinate capital including mezzanine debt and preferred equity that maximizes sponsor leverage while preserving operational control. For sponsors who need to fill the gap between senior debt and equity without diluting their position, we engineer the right structure.

Joint Venture Equity

For sponsors who require an equity partner rather than a debt solution, we structure and place joint venture equity across development and value-add transactions. We identify the right capital partner and negotiate terms that protect sponsor interests.

Specialized Instruments

Creative financing structures including Standby Letters of Credit, SBLC-backed facilities, and other specialized instruments for complex sponsor needs that fall outside the scope of conventional debt placement.

Capital Advisory & Recapitalizations

Full capital stack advisory including refinancings, partner buyouts, recapitalizations, and structured liquidity solutions. For sponsors navigating complexity at the asset or portfolio level, we provide the independent advisory perspective needed to identify the optimal path forward.

Our Approach

We structure transactions before we place them.

Most capital markets intermediaries operate as order-takers — they take your deal, shop it to a list, and present you with whatever comes back. That is not how we work.

Spaulding Capital Partners brings 25 years of experience on both sides of the closing table — as an originator, as an intermediary, and as an institutional lender. We understand how capital is underwritten at the source. That means we structure transactions before we place them, ensuring that what we bring to lenders and equity partners is positioned to close — not just to generate a term sheet.

Every engagement is handled directly by Michael Spaulding. There are no junior associates, no hand-offs, and no gatekeepers. When you engage Spaulding Capital Partners, you work directly with the decision-maker from first call to closing.

Compensation

Advisory fees are deal-specific and agreed upon at engagement. We do not charge retainers on standard debt placement mandates. Our economics are aligned with yours — we are compensated when your transaction closes.

Transaction Process

A disciplined process from first call to closing.

Initial Consultation

Submit your transaction through the Partner Portal or contact us directly. We will schedule a confidential call to understand your capital need, timeline, and objectives. No gatekeepers. No forms to fill before you speak with a partner.

Underwriting & Structuring

We analyze your transaction, identify the optimal capital structure, and determine the right lender or equity partner profile before going to market. We position your deal to close — not just to generate interest.

Market Execution

We present your transaction to the appropriate capital sources within our network, manage the process, and negotiate terms on your behalf. You receive regular updates and direct access throughout.

Closing

We coordinate with all parties through closing, managing the process to ensure certainty of execution and timeline integrity.
