Professional Intermediary Affiliation
Institutional Capital Markets Platform • Qualified Engagement • Execution Discipline
Cornovus Capital works with a limited number of qualified professional intermediaries. This is not an open referral network or a volume-driven placement program. Cornovus Capital is a national institutional commercial real estate and business financing firm, managing the full underwriting and structuring process across seven debt silos for sponsors and operators who require institutional-grade execution. Professional intermediaries who establish a referral relationship with Cornovus Capital work alongside the capital markets team and refer transactions that align with the firm's engagement criteria and execution standards.
Cornovus Capital originates, underwrites, places, and closes commercial real estate and business financing nationwide. Every engaged transaction is underwritten at Cornovus Capital's expense, built to the standard most credit committees would present and adopt, with structural issues identified early, sizing built to capital reality, and the full credit package prepared before a capital partner is engaged. Intermediaries who refer transactions through Cornovus Capital represent that institutional process to their clients.
If you represent clients with institutional-grade commercial real estate or business capital needs and want to explore whether a referral relationship makes sense, submit an inquiry below. Cornovus Capital reviews each submission and responds only to those that meet the engagement profile.
Engagement Criteria
| Intermediary Type | Licensed commercial real estate brokers, registered investment advisors, CPAs and accounting professionals, transactional attorneys, institutional capital markets firms, and other credentialed professionals with active client relationships in commercial real estate or business capital |
| Transaction Profile | Commercial real estate acquisitions, refinances, bridge and structured debt, SBA 7(a) and SBA 504 transactions, CMBS, conventional multifamily, LifeCo, and business owner-occupied financing where the transaction complexity and size align with the Cornovus Capital engagement model |
| Engagement Standard | Affiliated intermediaries are expected to understand the Cornovus Capital underwriting and placement process, communicate that process accurately to their clients, and refer transactions where the sponsor is prepared to engage at the institutional level required for underwriting and capital placement |
| Geographic Scope | National. Cornovus Capital manages transactions across U.S. markets with capital placement through pre-qualified partners matched to the transaction's geography, asset class, and credit profile |
What Affiliated Intermediaries Access
Affiliated intermediaries work alongside the Cornovus Capital capital markets team and have access to the full institutional platform, including:
- Institutional-grade underwriting performed by Cornovus Capital at its own expense on every engaged transaction, built to the standard a capital partner's internal credit committee would present and adopt.
- A pre-qualified capital partner network spanning bridge and structured debt, SBA 7(a), SBA 7(a) 100% CRE, SBA 504, CMBS, conventional multifamily, agency, LifeCo, and select specialty executions, matched to each transaction's credit profile, structure, asset class, and geography.
- Full execution support through the engagement lifecycle, from initial credit analysis and third-party diligence coordination through lender structuring and closing execution.
- Transparent communication at key milestones so affiliated intermediaries maintain continuity with their clients throughout the process.
How the Affiliation Process Works
- Submit an inquiry. Provide a brief overview of your practice, the client relationships you represent, and the types of transactions you encounter. Cornovus Capital reviews every submission.
- Initial conversation. If the inquiry aligns with the engagement profile, a member of the Cornovus Capital capital markets team will connect to discuss the platform and determine whether an affiliation makes sense.
- Engagement alignment. Affiliated intermediaries receive a working understanding of the Cornovus Capital underwriting and placement process, the capital programs, and the transaction criteria so they can represent the platform accurately to their clients.
- Transaction referral. When a qualified transaction arises, the affiliated intermediary introduces the opportunity. Cornovus Capital manages the underwriting, structuring, capital placement, and closing process. The intermediary maintains the client relationship.
What This Affiliation Is Not
Cornovus Capital does not operate a volume-driven referral network, a deal blast platform, or an open broker registration program. Affiliation is not automatic and is not available to all applicants.
- Cornovus Capital does not accept transaction submissions from unaffiliated brokers or individuals who have not completed the affiliation process.
- Affiliation does not create an employment relationship or authorize the intermediary to represent Cornovus Capital in any capacity beyond introducing qualified transactions.
- Cornovus Capital reserves the right to decline any transaction that does not align with its engagement model, capital programs, risk standards, or compliance requirements.
- Affiliated intermediaries may not make representations about financing terms, rate, leverage, or execution outcomes beyond what Cornovus Capital has provided in writing.
