When considering whether to proceed with a construction project, a preliminary assessment of funding options should be carried out. One of those options as a possible source of funding is mezzanine finance, particularly in times of economic hardship such as the recent recession when banks take a more risk adverse stance on property development.

Mezzanine finance, or mezzanine debt, is a hybrid of debt and equity instruments that allows the borrower to obtain financing based on cash flow rather than on traditional requirements of collateral.

Mezzanine finance provides a second layer of debt funding to bridge the gap between the senior debt (typically provided by a bank or fund), and the equity investment of the developer. Typically, it is secured via a second charge.

In the case of default, the lender’s financing converts to an ownership or equity interest in the business.

It has the advantage of delivering a substantial contribution to the long-term value creation of a business, resulting in stable returns during the investment.

On a company’s balance sheet, mezzanine financing is treated like equity, and is usually completed with little or no due diligence on the part of the lender, and little or no collateral on the part of the borrower.

Returns on investment for lenders of mezzanine finance can be around 20%. While this is more expensive for the developer than senior debt, it is less expensive than their own equity and as short-term funding it can help to unlock several million in potential profits, so the longer-term benefits are considerable. By allowing developers to minimise their personal equity contribution to just 5-10% of development costs, significantly increased returns on equity invested can be achieved.
