Obtaining financing in the Italian landscape today is a complex challenge: banks demand guarantees that are often already pledged to other projects; private investors are either a saturated source, slow to evaluate, or impose conditions that limit or eliminate your control over the operation. Conventional crowdfunding platforms frequently prove to be too rigid and standardized an instrument, often unable to adapt to the specific nature of the individual deal.
On the contrary, every real estate operation presents different variables — from the amount of own capital deployed, to the various types of guarantees, all the way to the specific construction timelines and the risk profile. Meanwhile time is the worst enemy: the expiring preliminary contract exposes the operation to the risk of being taken over by competitors with easy access to structured capital.
What you lack isn't the vision or the validity of the project, but a tailored financial channel, a structure capable of shaping the financing to your needs — combining and integrating the fundamental instruments to transform an idea into a successful operation, a meeting point between you and international investors who want to invest in Italian deals.
Booking.com doesn't own hotels. It doesn't set prices, it doesn't deal directly with end customers. It brings qualified demand to those who have the structure to handle it, and it earns a commission only when the booking is confirmed.
LinkDeal replicates and extends this model in the European real estate financing market. You bring the deal and your starting point. We analyze, qualify, and build a structured financing that can combine equity crowdfunding, real estate lending, royalty, mini-bonds, club deals — bringing in, where needed, institutional investors, investment banks, investment funds and family offices. The dossier meets ECSP standards. The fee applies exclusively to operations that are financed.
Your deal deserves a tailored structure. Let's figure out together whether the time is right.
Submit your request →Every operator arrives from a different starting point: own capital deployed, real guarantees available or absent, construction timelines, deal risk profile, ticket size. On that starting point we design the financing — combining different instruments and different counterparties, because often the mix is worth more than any single modality.
A financing structure is like a construction site: quality comes from the right materials put together in the right order. We put them together.
Structuring the financing doesn't end with the raise. Often the deal needs additional levers: a real guarantee that improves access to bank credit in parallel, or the opening up to financial operations on the credit itself. These are two services that we integrate into the overall design of the operation.
When your deal requires a bank line as a complement to the raise — or when you want to present yourself to investors with a more solid guarantee structure — we support you in sourcing additional real guarantees: third-party properties pledged via dedicated vehicles, structured bank sureties, asset pledges, pre-signed lease contracts as collateral.
We also structure financing for financial operations on the non-performing loan market: acquisition of single NPLs or portfolios, secondaries on real-estate-secured credits, structured servicing operations.
From preliminary to capital raise in weeks, not months of negotiation. Your competitors are still waiting for a response from the bank. You already have the deal in raise on a mixed structure — equity on the European platform, lending from a specialized fund as anchor, additional real guarantee structured in parallel. Speed isn't a bonus: in real estate it's the competitive advantage.
Instruments, counterparties and guarantees selected on the data of your deal — not on a platform standard. Every operation goes through an internal audit: starting point, own capital, available guarantees, LTV, LTC, expected IRR, duration, risk profile. Based on the numbers we choose the mix that maximizes the likelihood of full-funding at the best cost of capital for you.
From evaluation to closing, always the same team. We build the dossier, translate the documents into the language of the country hosting the raise, support you in sourcing additional real guarantees, manage the relationship with institutional investors and funds. Your name stays on the cover of the operation. Our work stays behind the scenes, and it doesn't stop until closing.
You tell us about the deal and your starting point: own capital, available guarantees, urgencies, instruments already explored. A first hands-on analysis tells you whether the deal is compatible with the LinkDeal network and which combination of instruments we could work with.
Verification of corporate documentation, detailed analysis of the operation, construction of the structured financing. Alignment on the instrument mix, the counterparties involved, the possible sourcing of additional real guarantees, pricing, duration and timelines.
We select the network's ECSP platform most suited to the deal, and in parallel we open the conversation with institutional investors, investment banks or funds when the structure requires it. We coordinate the final due diligence and the materials. You sign just one operating contract.
The campaign is live on the platform. The institutional counterparties subscribe within the agreed timelines. You follow from the LinkDeal dashboard. At closing the capital is available for the operation, within the contracted timelines and forms.
Four phases. Weeks not months. The deal waits — the calendar doesn't.
Submit your request →The network speaks to European investors and institutional counterparties in the language of qualification. For this reason we apply non-negotiable access criteria — the same ones we publicly declare to the partner platforms.
Short cycle, real guarantee, clear exit — the type most suited to pan-European lending or to lending + equity structures.
Repositioning of urban portfolios, unit subdivision, progressive sale — often suited to equity crowdfunding or royalty.
Greenfield or brownfield operations with approved masterplan — ideal for equity, club deals or mixed structures with institutional anchor.
Hotels, resorts, conversion of tourism assets, short-term rentals — often structured with equity + lending + revenue share on management.
Operations with tax incentives, industrial recovery, conventioned social housing — mixed structures with ESG-oriented institutional investors.
Complex multi-asset projects, possibly in partnership with local authorities — typically fund/club deal-driven.
Acquisition of single NPLs or portfolios, secondaries on real-estate-secured credits, UTP positions — structured with dedicated capital and specialized investors.
When the deal requires a parallel bank line or a more solid guarantee structure, we work on sourcing real guarantees to improve access to credit.

LinkDeal is the point of union.
Three Italian operators. Three different deals. Three different instrument combinations.
I had a preliminary contract expiring on a residential subdivision in Milan and the bank had already said no. At LinkDeal they designed a mixed structure: equity on the European platform for 40%, lending from a specialized fund for 60%, secured by the new property. Closing in 11 weeks.
Hospitality in Tuscany, a 14-room boutique hotel to take over and reposition. Dilution scared me — I didn't want to give up shares of the vehicle. LinkDeal built a royalty on management revenues and brought in a club deal with 6 European investors. Zero shares given up, capital arrived in 9 weeks.
I've worked on real-estate-backed non-performing loans for eight years. LinkDeal brought in two specialized funds as institutional anchors, plus structured equity for the residual portion. The cleanest operation I've ever closed.
The next deal told here could be yours.
Submit your request →Selection and qualification of operators, analysis of the starting point, design of the structured financing, preparation of the preliminary documentation, support in sourcing additional real guarantees, coordination with ECSP platforms and institutional counterparties.
Final due diligence, ECSP regulatory compliance or equivalent, investor relations or internal investment committee, contractual structuring, capital disbursement.
The project, the execution of the works, compliance with timelines, the management of the relationship with the raise vehicle according to the agreed terms, recovery in the case of NPL operations.
The initial evaluation is free. If we decide together to proceed, we work on a success fee basis: a percentage of the capital raised or of the value of the structured operation, agreed upon before starting. No fixed costs, no setup, no "empty" fees.
We structure operations starting from € 150,000 of raise. Below this threshold, the cost of pan-European structuring rarely makes sense for the operator.
On average 2-4 months from the moment we start with the structuring. It depends on the complexity of the deal, the combination of instruments chosen, and the number of counterparties involved.
Yes, and it's almost always the winning choice. A mixed structure is the most effective way to optimize the cost of capital, accelerate funding and reduce dilution.
Yes. In designing the financing we evaluate whether it's appropriate to integrate the deal with additional real guarantees — third-party properties, structured bank sureties, asset pledges, pre-signed lease contracts as collateral.
Yes. We structure financing for the acquisition of single NPLs or portfolios, secondaries on real-estate-secured credits and UTP positions.
Only if equity is the most convenient modality for your deal. If debt is more suitable, we structure a lending. If non-dilution is more suitable, we work on royalty. The choice arises from the numbers, not from a preference of ours.
No serious operator guarantees full-funding of a raise on the capital markets. What we do guarantee is: professional structuring, access to a qualified ECSP network and total transparency on risks before signing.
Thirty minutes. Confidential. No commitment after the call. A concrete evaluation of your deal and your starting point, and a clear direction on how to structure the right financing.
