Product FAQ

Why does mezzanine debt require extra care in presentation?

Because structure, control, and stack alignment matter materially. Loose packaging can create confusion quickly.

Is it appropriate for every deal with a gap?

No. It makes sense only when the asset, sponsor, and overall stack can support that type of capital.
