Bridge and mezzanine capital, matched to the lender who writes it.
A bridge loan carries a company across a timing gap: a closing that comes before permanent financing, a refinancing that is not ready, a sale that has not yet closed. Mezzanine debt sits between senior debt and equity: subordinated, priced for that risk, and often paid partly in cash and partly in kind, sometimes with an equity feature. Facilities we work on start at $5 million and are typically $10 million to $250 million.
How it works in a paragraph
A bridge lender underwrites the way out as much as the borrower: the refinancing, sale or equity raise that will repay the loan. A mezzanine lender sits behind the senior lender, under an intercreditor agreement that limits what it can do, so it prices the risk and negotiates its protections carefully. Tenor, pricing, security and any equity feature vary by lender and deal. Nothing here is an offered term.
