What is Mezzanine Debt?

Mezzanine debt, often referred to as subordinated debt or junior capital, is a layer of capital that effectively bridges the gap between senior/bank debt and equity Mezzanine debt is an effective tool for cash flow positive companies whose needs exceed their bank’s ability or willingness to lend Examples of such situations include: buyouts, financing internal growth, financing an acquisition, financing a management buyout or generational transfer In these situations, mezzanine debt often proves less costly than equity In addition, mezzanine debt is a more effective choice than equity when companies have cash flow, but no significant history, collateral or size to attract senior debt Subordinated debt can also be a more effective financing tool than senior debt when companies need access to a large piece of long term debt, but lack collateral to do so
