Overview

To successfully set up a syndication offering, you must complete 4 required foundational steps before you can launch.

Please review Phase 2 of the Syndication Onboarding Checklist for a review of these documents.

• Create 2 Entities: SPV + Management Entity
• Create your PPM Package: PPM, Syndication Operating Agreement, Subscription Agreement
• Open 2 bank accounts: SPV entity bank account + Management Entity Bank Account
• File your form Form D with the SEC

Once those are complete, you can finish building the investor-facing offering page with content, documents, images, and updates.

Step 1: Log In & Create a New Syndication

Log in to your portal.

Navigate to:
Investments → Syndications (SPVs) → Manage Syndications

Click Create New Syndication.

This will open the syndication setup workflow.

⚠️ Note: The workflow stages are locked. You must complete each section fully before moving to the next stage.

Step 2: Enter Entity Information (Required)

Each syndication requires two entities:

• SPV / Syndication Entity
• Management Entity

You will need the EIN letters and states of formations for both entities before starting.

SPV (Syndication Entity)

Complete the following:

• Legal entity name
• Entity type (typically LLC)
• SPV type
• Formation date
• State of formation
• EIN number
• Registered address (city, state, country)

Management Entity

Complete the same details:

• Legal entity name
• Entity type (typically LLC)
• SPV type
• Formation date
• State of formation
• EIN number
• Registered address (city, state, country)
• Contact email (if applicable)

Click Save once both entities are entered.

Step 3: Upload Your PPM Documents (Required)

If your PPM package is complete, email the following documents to support@avestorinc.com:

• Private Placement Memorandum (PPM)
• Syndication Operating Agreement
• Subscription Agreement

The support team will:

• Send documents for digital execution (signing) via SignNow
• Upload fully executed documents into your syndication offering’s portal

Step 4: Add Banking & Mailing Instructions (Required)

Each syndication requires two bank accounts:

Syndication (SPV) Bank Account

Management Entity Bank Account

Required Banking Information

For the syndication bank account, provide:

• Bank name and address
• Beneficiary name (entity name)
• Account number
• ACH instructions
• Wire instructions
• SWIFT code (if accepting international wires)

Check Acceptance (Optional)

Toggle ON if you want to accept mailed checks

Enter payee name and mailing address

Toggle OFF if you only accept ACH/Wires

Click Save to proceed.

Step 5: Enter Form D (EDGAR) Information (OPTIONAL - BUT HIGHLY ADVISED)

**To legally collect capital and file your blue sky filings, you must file Form D for the syndication entity. Collecting capital without a Form D can lead to fines from the SEC. While Avestor allows syndications to collect capital without a Form D, we highly advise against it. **

For your Form D, enter:

• SEC File Number / SIC Number
• Form D filing date
• Accession Number

✅ With EDGAR Next, no EDGAR password, CCC, or PMAC credentials are required. Login is handled via Login.gov.

Step 6: Add User Access (Optional)

If needed, you can grant additional access to:

• Administrators
• Team members
• Partners

Steps:

Click Add User

Enter name, email, and phone number

Send access invite

Step 7: Build the Offering Page (Investor-Facing)

This section functions as a digital pitch book for investors.

Offering Info

Include:

• Deal name
• Lookup code (internal reference for support)
• Investment type (equity or debt)
• Asset class
• Investment duration
• Property address
• Capital raise amount
• Close date and expected exit date
• Internal notes (not visible to investors)

🔘 Toggle the offering ON to make it visible to investors
🔘 Toggle OFF to hide it

Step 8: Add Content Sections

Content sections help investors understand the deal.

Best practice: mirror your pitch deck structure.

Examples:

• Executive Summary
• Sponsor Bios
• Pro Forma
• Investment Thesis

You can:

• Write content manually
• Use built-in AI tools
• Upload files or images
• Toggle sections on/off

Step 9: Upload Supporting Documents

Upload supporting materials such as:

• Pitch decks
• Financial models
• Excel spreadsheets
• Additional disclosures

Documents can be viewed and edited after upload.

Step 10: Upload Images & Videos

Visuals are critical for investor engagement.

Images

• Upload multiple images
• Crop as needed
• Select a primary image (thumbnail)

Videos (Optional)

• Property walk-throughs
• Sponsor overview videos
• Deal explanation videos

Step 11: Post Project Updates

Use Project Updates to communicate with investors after launch:

• Construction milestones
• Delays or changes
• Operational updates

Each update can include:

• Date
• Written update
• Images or videos

Step 12: Review Investor View

Click Investor View to preview the offering as an investor sees it.

You should see:
