What is it
A mezzanine loan stands between traditional bank debt financing and equity and combines aspects of both financing methods. The loan is subordinated and has no collateral in the form of real estate. A mezzanine loan has a higher interest rate than a senior bank loan due to the higher risk associated with it. Mezzanine loans can also include elements of equity. This means that in addition to receiving interest payments, the lender is sometimes also entitled to profit sharing or an equity interest in the company.
