Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Financing, Straightforward Answers

  • What are mezzanine capital solutions?

    Mezzanine capital solutions are a form of mezzanine debt—a hybrid financing solution that blends traditional debt financing with elements of equity investment. They are structured as subordinated debt, ranking below senior debt and senior capital solutions provided by a senior lender. This financing option is ideal for a borrowing company looking for mezzanine funding to support a purchase or development project without diluting the equity interest of existing owners.

  • Who is best suited for mezzanine financing?

    Mezzanine capital solutions are best for mature companies with stable cash flow that need additional capital to drive growth without sacrificing control. These companies seek mezzanine capital to support further financing, complementing their senior debt. The structure of mezzanine debt offers a balanced approach that preserves the company’s capital structure while providing the funds necessary for expansion.

  • What is the typical funding range for mezzanine capital solutions?

    Our mezzanine capital solutions typically provide between $1 million and $10 million in mezzanine funding. This range covers the loan principal and associated interest payments, offering a financing solution that supports significant expansion or a strategic purchase or development project.

  • How do mezzanine capital solutions integrate with a company’s capital structure?

    Mezzanine capital solutions are structured as subordinated debt within a company’s capital structure, sitting between senior debt and equity. This positioning allows for flexible repayment terms and, often, optional equity instruments such as mezzanine bridge capital solutions or small equity kickers, which provide a minimal equity interest to the mezzanine investor while protecting the control of existing owners.

  • Can mezzanine capital solutions be used for real estate projects?

    Yes, mezzanine financing can be applied as real estate mezzanine capital solutions to support the acquisition or development of property. This option is especially useful when senior debt alone does not cover the full funding requirements of a purchase or development project.

  • What are the interest payment terms for mezzanine capital solutions?

    Interest payments for mezzanine lenders are competitively structured and are typically higher than those on senior debt due to their subordinate position. However, the flexible repayment schedule and potential equity instruments balance these costs, offering a viable option for companies needing additional growth capital.

  • Are there any prepayment considerations with mezzanine capital solutions?

    While our mezzanine loan program is designed to be flexible, it is important to review any prepayment conditions carefully. We work closely with each borrowing company to structure terms that protect our mezzanine investors while providing you with the flexibility to repay the loan, subject to minimal prepayment penalties.

  • How do mezzanine capital solutions differ from traditional senior capital solutions?

    Unlike traditional senior capital solutions, mezzanine financing is structured as subordinated debt, meaning it carries higher interest rates but provides additional capital without diluting existing ownership. This balance of debt and equity financing allows companies to secure further financing while keeping control, making mezzanine capital solutions a smart option for expansion without the constraints of senior debt alone.
