Mezzanine Fund
The mezzanine funds that MCP Partners are commissioned to manage primarily provide funding through class shares, subordinated loans, and subordinated debt (generally with no voting rights attached.)
We provide funds necessary to expand shareholder equity, execute management strategy, and to allow business successions and corporate acquisitions, etc.
After investment has been made, our basic policy is to recover investment capital from the profits accumulated by the investee company, or through refinancing.
