How is mezzanine financing different from a traditional business loan?

Unlike bank loans, mezzanine financing is unsecured and subordinate to senior debt, making it riskier for lenders but more accessible for businesses that need creative funding solutions. It’s a tool that fills the gap when bank financing falls short.

How is mezzanine financing different from a traditional business loan?

The main risk is the higher cost of capital—interest rates and return expectations are typically higher than senior debt. If the business underperforms, the lender may have the option to take an equity stake, which could dilute ownership.

Can a small business qualify for mezzanine financing without giving up control?

Yes. One of the key benefits of mezzanine capital is that it allows business owners to raise substantial funding while maintaining operational control. Any equity component is usually structured to minimize dilution unless repayment issues arise.
