Growth equity

Growth equity is a type of equity investment, usually a minority share investment, in fast-growing companies that are looking for capital to expand or restructure operations, enter new markets or finance a significant acquisition meanwhile letting existing owners keeping controlling stake in the business.

Mezzanine debt

Mezzanine debt gets its name because it blurs the lines between what constitutes debt and equity. It is the highest-risk form of debt, and the typical rate is in the range of 10% to 20% per year. Mezzanine debt is suitable for fast-growing companies looking to expand quickly but doesn’t want to give up equity.

Unitranche debt

Unitranche lending involves a hybrid loan structure that combines senior debt and subordinated debt into one loan facility at a blended interest rate that falls between the rates of the two traditional types of debt, senior and mezzanine (typically around 7%-10% per year).

Corporate bonds

Bonds are issued by a mature corporation to raise financing for a variety of reasons such as ongoing operations, M&A, or to expand the business. Corporate bonds typically are secured with 1 lien pledge on the borrower’s assets. Interest rates vary based on the company’s risk profile and typically are around 3%-8% per year and compared to Banks offer a more flexible covenant structure and risk profile.

P2P platforms

In the past decade has gained popularity and can be a great asset to small businesses and start-ups, that are too small or risky for large institutional lenders, looking for funding to expand, take on new employees, or even cover day-to-day expenses. Corporate P2P lending is more expensive and interest rates start from 15% per year and up.
