Broker-dealers
Castle Placement
Castle Placement, LLC is a New York investment bank and registered broker-dealer, a member of FINRA and SIPC, that raises equity and debt capital and arranges loans for private middle-market companies and funds across industries and geographies.
An engagement starts with a strategic and financial review of preliminary marketing materials, business plans and financial models. The team then identifies prospective investors, coordinates and joins investor discussions, and assists in structuring, negotiating and closing the transaction, running the process to keep a competitive field of investors and limit the demands on management. Clients get access to CPGO, the firm's app, which uses machine learning to match investors with companies, lets clients message investors, track interest and view investor profiles and contacts, and monitor each phase of the raise.
The firm also advises on offering structure. It describes Regulation D 506(c) offerings with no size limit, open to accredited and institutional investors and launchable in about a week with minimal third-party costs; Regulation A+ offerings of up to $75 million a year, open to non-accredited as well as accredited and institutional investors, taking roughly six months to launch with third-party costs of $100,000 to $150,000; and Regulation CF raises of up to $5 million a year, open to all investors, launching in about four to six weeks at low third-party cost.
Castle Placement was founded in 2009 and is headquartered at 1460 Broadway in New York City, with offices in Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and Washington, DC. A referral program pays up to $5,000 when a referred company hires the firm. Engagement fees are not published on the site.
