Chief Operating Officer Edward Alexson
Mezzanine funding is important because we bridge the gap between what a senior lender offers and the remaining costs required to fully fund a project. By using mezzanine and equity funding, developers can reduce their equity funding, spread their own personal equity further and undertake more projects.
