LB10: Placement Runbook

Sixty to one hundred twenty days is typical, and everything in the sequence is schedulable except one item — the item that moves your closing date. Seven stages with what happens, your role, and who owns each: screen and size, engage administrator and capital provider, senior debt term sheet (marked as the critical stage), documentation, underwriting, closing, and construction. Three things that save the most time: size it before you sell it, confirm compensation before the term sheet, and calendar the consent conversation first rather than last. Includes a nineteen-item placement checklist with owner and date columns. Ends on the proposition: most of the brokers you compete with cannot size this, cannot sequence it, and cannot manage the lender consent.
