SCG Advisory
Capital advisory for businesses and real estate.
SCG Advisory raises and structures capital for companies and real estate owners, and advises on the acquisitions, dispositions and real estate decisions around it. Our principals built and ran a national capital markets platform before founding the firm, and we approach every assignment the way we approach our own capital.
Services
Practice areas.
One team covers the capital and the transaction, so the structure we recommend is the one we can execute.
01
For owners, operators and CFOs of small and middle-market companies
Business Capital
We source and structure capital for companies buying a business, buying their building, adding equipment, expanding or refinancing what they already carry. We package the company the way capital providers underwrite it, run the process across banks, credit funds and non-bank capital sources, and negotiate terms the business can carry.
- Business acquisitions and partner buyouts
- Owner-occupied real estate purchases
- Equipment financing and working capital
- Refinancing of existing and SBA debt
- Growth and expansion capital
02
For owners, developers and investors
Real Estate Capital
We structure the full capital stack for acquisitions, developments, refinancings and recapitalizations. We run a competitive process with the capital markets and negotiate terms that meet market return on capital requirements while protecting the sponsor's control of the asset.
- Acquisition, bridge and refinance debt
- Construction and development capital
- Mezzanine and preferred capital
- Joint venture structuring and co-investment capital
- Recapitalizations and restructurings
03
For corporations and business owners
Sale-Leasebacks and Monetizations
We help companies convert owned real estate into growth capital while keeping long-term control of their facilities. We structure the lease around the business, then take the transaction to the investors who pay the most for that credit and that lease.
- Single-asset and portfolio sale-leasebacks
- Build-to-suit and development takeouts
- Partial leasebacks and surplus property sales
- Lease versus own analysis
04
For investors, institutions and corporate occupiers

Process
How an engagement runs.
Each assignment follows the same four stages, scaled to the size of the transaction.
01
Assess
We learn the business, the asset and the objective, and tell you plainly what the market will support.
02
Structure
We size the capital, compare the options and build a package that presents the opportunity the way capital providers and buyers underwrite it.
03
Market
We run a competitive, confidential process across the capital sources or buyers best suited to the transaction.
04
Close
We negotiate terms, manage diligence and documentation, and stay on the transaction through closing.
