For property owners, developers, and institutions, the path from initial concept to a live, compliant tokenised asset can be fraught with uncertainty. Questions abound: Which token standard is appropriate? How do we structure the legal entity? What regulatory approvals are required in our jurisdiction? How do we integrate with wallets, exchanges, and custodians? How do we ensure investor trust and liquidity?SQMU offers consulting services to guide clients through every stage of this journey. Leveraging the open\u2011source SQMU standard\u2014where 1 token equals 1 verified square metre\u2014our team provides strategic, technical, and regulatory expertise tailored to each client\u2019s assets and goals. Whether you are a family office tokenising a single building, a developer funding a new project, or a platform seeking to adopt a scalable tokenisation infrastructure, we help you move from vision to onchain execution with clarity and confidence.This article outlines the scope of our consulting services, the engagement process, and the value we deliver. For foundational information on the SQMU standard, see the SQMU Standard pillar page. For technical implementation details, refer to the open\u2011source repository documentation.Why Consulting Matters in Real Estate TokenisationReal estate tokenisation is not merely a technical exercise; it is a structural transformation of how property ownership and investment are organised. Doing it correctly requires:Legal precision:\u00a0The token must be properly linked to a legal entity (SPV, trust, or fund) that holds title to the property. This entity must comply with local property laws, securities regulations, and tax obligations.Regulatory navigation:\u00a0In most jurisdictions, tokenised real estate constitutes a security. Issuers must navigate licensing, prospectus exemptions, KYC\/AML requirements, and ongoing reporting.Technical integrity:\u00a0Smart contracts must be audited, secure, and designed for the chosen blockchain network. They must enforce compliance rules, automate distributions, and integrate with wallets and exchanges.Investor alignment:\u00a0The token economics, distribution model, and liquidity strategy must be tailored to the target investor base\u2014whether retail, accredited, or institutional.Operational readiness:\u00a0Processes for rent collection, dividend distribution, investor communications, and secondary market trading must be defined and implemented.Attempting to navigate these layers without expert guidance often leads to costly delays, regulatory missteps, or investor distrust. Consulting services bridge the gap between a promising idea and a live, market\u2011ready token.Our Consulting ApproachOur consulting process is structured to provide clarity at every stage. We begin with a deep assessment of your asset, goals, and jurisdiction, then proceed through design, development, and launch.Phase 1: Discovery and FeasibilityIn this initial phase, we evaluate whether tokenisation is the right strategy for your asset and objectives. We examine:Property characteristics:\u00a0Location, area, ownership structure, existing tenancies, and valuation.Regulatory environment:\u00a0Which laws apply? What licences or exemptions are required? (See our country\u2011specific guides for\u00a0Dubai,\u00a0Singapore,\u00a0Hong Kong, and others.)Target investor profile:\u00a0Retail, accredited, institutional? Geographic restrictions?Business objectives:\u00a0Fundraising, liquidity, fractionalisation, rental income separation?We deliver a feasibility report that outlines the recommended legal structure, token model, estimated costs, timeline, and potential risks. This report serves as the foundation for a go\/no\u2011go decision.Phase 2: Legal and Structural DesignOnce feasibility is confirmed, we work with legal counsel (or guide you to specialised firms) to establish the optimal legal vehicle. This typically involves:Forming an SPV that will hold title to the property.Drafting the offering documents (private placement memorandum, subscription agreement, tokenholder rights).Structuring the token economics: total supply, pricing, distribution rights, governance, and exit mechanisms.Designing compliance controls: whitelisting, transfer restrictions, KYC\/AML integration.We ensure that the legal structure aligns with the smart contract logic, creating a seamless link between on\u2011chain tokens and off\u2011chain rights.Phase 3: Technical Development and DeploymentWith the legal foundation in place, we configure and customise the open\u2011source SQMU smart contracts to match your asset\u2019s specifications. Our technical services include:Smart contract deployment:\u00a0Deploying\u00a0SQMU.sol\u00a0(ERC\u20111155),\u00a0AtomicSQMUDistributor.sol\u00a0for primary sales, and\u00a0SQMUTrade.sol\u00a0for secondary transfers on your chosen EVM chain (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Scroll, or others).Custom compliance modules:\u00a0Adding jurisdiction\u2011specific transfer restrictions, whitelist controls, or automated dividend distribution logic.Integration with WordPress or custom frontend:\u00a0Using the SQMU WordPress plugin to create property listings, investor dashboards, and payment interfaces, or building a bespoke frontend via API.Auditing and verification:\u00a0Coordinating security audits of the smart contracts and verifying them on block explorers for transparency.We provide full documentation and training so your team can operate the system post\u2011launch.Phase 4: Investor Onboarding and LaunchA successful launch requires more than just deploying contracts. We assist with:KYC\/AML workflows:\u00a0Integrating with compliance providers to verify investor identities and whitelist wallet addresses.Marketing and distribution:\u00a0Advising on how to reach your target investor base, including listing on security token exchanges or integrating with DeFi platforms.Liquidity planning:\u00a0Designing secondary market mechanisms\u2014whether via the\u00a0SQMUTrade.solcontract, third\u2011party exchanges, or issuer\u2011sponsored buybacks.Launch execution:\u00a0Coordinating the primary offering, managing investor communications, and ensuring all funds are properly escrowed.Phase 5: Post\u2011Launch Support and EvolutionTokenisation is not a one\u2011time event. After launch, we offer ongoing support to:Monitor contract performance and investor activity.Implement upgrades or additional features (e.g., new properties, additional share classes).Assist with regulatory filings and periodic reporting.Provide training for internal teams on smart contract management and investor relations.Why Choose SQMU Consulting?Our consulting practice is built on deep, practical experience in real estate tokenisation.

They want to tokenise 30% of the equity to fund a new project while retaining majority ownership.Discovery:\u00a0We assess the property, confirm that MAS regulations treat the token as a security, and recommend a prospectus\u2011exempt offer to accredited investors.Legal design:\u00a0We guide the formation of an SPV, draft the tokenholder agreement, and embed transfer restrictions limiting ownership to Singapore\u2011accredited wallets.Technical deployment:\u00a0We deploy an ERC\u20111155 contract on Arbitrum with total supply 5,000 SQMU tokens (1 per m\u00b2). We configure the whitelist to only allow accredited wallets.Launch:\u00a0We assist with KYC integration, coordinate the primary offering, and set up a secondary market using\u00a0SQMUTrade.sol\u00a0with a broker\u2011dealer partner.Outcome:\u00a0The developer raises the desired capital, retains 70% equity, and creates a liquid secondary market for investors. Ongoing rent distributions are automated via the smart contract.Getting StartedIf you are considering tokenising real estate\u2014whether a single asset or a portfolio\u2014the first step is a structured discussion.
