Understanding Mezzanine Financing
Mezzanine financing is a type of funding that sits between equity and debt on a company's capital structure. It is typically used to finance expansion, acquisitions, or other growth opportunities. Mezzanine financing involves providing a company with subordinated debt that is junior to senior debt but senior to equity in terms of repayment priority. This type of financing often includes an equity component, such as warrants or options, which allows the lender to potentially participate in the company's future success. Mezzanine financing is considered higher risk than traditional debt financing but offers the potential for higher returns.
