Our Story

The Charleston Deal Alliance was founded to “Connect” deal professionals - investment banks, lawyers, CPAs and capital providers – private equity firms, family offices and lenders with middle market companies, commercial real estate firms and executives. CDA is focused primarily on the South Carolina Tri-County Region – Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester. Membership from other regions is welcomed.

Why We Exist

At the Charleston Deal Alliance, we know you want to be as productive as possible in the dealmaking world. In order to do that, you need to connect with fellow professionals so you can compare notes, make new contacts and identify new business opportunities.

The problem is there’s no single place where Charleston area dealmakers can connect. You’re left feeling disconnected from the local deal community and find yourself networking mostly with colleagues in other states. Charleston is emerging as a financial hub, with contacts and opportunities right here at home.

Our founders wanted to tap into a shared knowledge base and collaborate on deals. Out of our mutual interest in greater connectivity, Charleston Deal Alliance was formed.

With a robust member database, discounts to exclusive events and access to content and information, you can expand your network and increase your profitability.
