Our debt placement fee

MCM agrees its debt placement fee in writing before engagement. It is due only if the loan closes. There is no MCM debt placement fee if the financing does not close.

Costs paid to other parties

Lender deposits, legal fees, appraisals, environmental work, title and other diligence expenses are separate. Some can be due before closing. Review the amount, payee and refund terms before authorizing an expense.

Separate consulting assignments

Sponsor consulting deliverables and compensation are agreed in writing for that assignment. MCM does not raise equity or charge equity-placement fees.

Agree on the assignment before lender outreach

The engagement should identify the financing request, the advisory work, the fee calculation and the event that makes the fee payable. It should also explain which third-party costs the client may incur separately. A clear agreement gives both parties the same expectations before the work begins.

MCM’s debt placement fee is due only if the loan closes. That does not mean appraisers, attorneys, title providers or lenders defer every charge until closing. Obtain an estimate and approval process for those expenses at the start.

Know what you are comparing

Ask for a written description of the work, not just a fee percentage. Preparing a financing package, reviewing lender underwriting, negotiating terms and coordinating diligence are distinct responsibilities. Confirm which are included and who handles questions as the transaction progresses.

Compare total transaction costs as well as the advisor’s fee. Lender charges, reserves and prepayment costs can affect the decision even when advisory compensation is identical.
