Mezzanine

At GBMM, we specialise in mezzanine finance, a powerful hybrid funding solution that combines the benefits of debt and equity. Mezzanine financing is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between traditional debt and equity funding, offering businesses the flexibility and resources to achieve ambitious growth, acquisitions, or restructuring objectives.

Whether you’re looking to finance a large-scale expansion, support a Management Buyout (MBO), or secure capital for strategic acquisitions, mezzanine finance provides the best of both worlds—offering the stability of debt with the growth potential of equity.

What is Mezzanine Finance?

Mezzanine finance sits between debt and equity in the capital structure, giving lenders the opportunity to convert the debt into equity if the borrower defaults. This form of funding is typically subordinated to senior debt, meaning it comes with a higher risk but also higher returns, making it a valuable tool for businesses seeking additional capital without diluting ownership significantly or burdening cash flow with high repayments.

At GBMM, we connect you with a range of trusted providers who offer tailored mezzanine solutions to suit your specific business needs, ensuring a seamless funding process.
