MEZZANINE FINANCE PROVIDERS
Mezzanine Financing happens to be a fusion of equity
financing and debt. This gives the lender rights to convert
to an equity interest in the company in event of default
after the senior lenders and venture capital companies are
paid. Mezzanine loan is then treated like an equity on the
balance sheet of the company in such event and is
completed with diligence on part of lender with some or
not collateral on borrower’s site.
In order to attract mezzanine finance providers,
companies usually display a track record in the industry
with an esteemed repute and product along with viable
business expansion plan via acquisitions, expansions or
initial public offering and history of profitability.
