Mezzanine loans are a hybrid form of financing that can be structured as either debt or equity-like. In the event of payment difficulties, senior loans are repaid before mezzanine loans.

Bridge financing helps companies cover short-term needs, such as pre-financing an acquisition, making specific investments, or mitigating the loss of key customers. Bridge financing offers a rapid solution to unforeseen, short-term capital requirements.

With subordinated loans, the borrower cannot repay the subordinated lender until senior creditors (those holding senior and mezzanine loans) have been repaid.

Revenue-based financing is particularly suitable for rapidly growing companies seeking a flexible way to expand without diluting ownership. Repayment is based on a pre-agreed percentage of revenue, rather than interest payments.

Silent participation enables companies to secure financing without adding shareholders. The investor receives a share of the profits in exchange for their capital contribution. There are two forms of silent participation: typical and atypical. In a typical silent partnership, the investor is entitled to profits but does not share in losses. In an atypical silent partnership, the investor participates in both profits and losses and has certain control rights.

With convertible capital and private investment in public equity (PIPE), companies sell debt securities or shares that can be converted into common stock. This allows companies to raise capital without immediate share dilution. These financing options are particularly beneficial for those with limited access to traditional equity financing.
