Methodology / Glossary / Mezzanine Finance

Mezzanine Finance

A secondary financing layer that sits between senior debt and equity. Mezzanine carries a higher interest rate (typically 12-20%) because it is subordinate to senior debt and only repaid after the senior lender.

Why it matters

Mezzanine reduces the equity required but increases total finance costs. It can make or break marginal deals.

In Profivo

Added as a second debt tranche in the Finance tab with independent terms.
