FAQ
Where does gap capital sit in the stack
Either as preferred equity beside common or as mezzanine debt below senior. The choice depends on lender comfort and leverage.
What is the exit
Refinance, sale, or cash flow sweeps that reduce the balance on a set schedule.
Do you work across asset types
Yes. Commercial Real Estate, operating businesses, and roll ups where cash flows support the exit.
How fast can we close
Timing depends on data quality and third parties. A complete file shortens diligence and document cycles.
