 Technopreneurial.com: Mezzanine Finance -- The Resurgence of an Old Investment Tool
Simply put, mezzanine finance is a cross between a loan and equity in the form of a call option or convertible that allows the investor to convert the loan into an equity investment at a previously agreed price.
Mezzanine finance has traditionally been perceived as a bridging loan, but it is increasingly used as a stand-alone investment in buyouts or as a substantial investment to further expand a business.
Mezzanine investors need to be convinced that both the industry and the company are promising winners for their investments.

 Real Estate Issues: COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MEZZANINE FINANCE: MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Though mezzanine loans and first mortgage loans are currently treated the same from an at-risk perspective, the NAIC has been contemplating a change for several years and insurance companies have largely aligned their practices in anticipation of the expected revision.
Mezzanine finance providers deliver additional capital to fill the gap between what the owner wants to borrow and what the first mortgage lender is willing to provide.
For bearing risk greater than that of first mortgagees, mezzanine finance providers receive an expected return in excess of that of first mortgages, typically in the 8-20%+ range, depending on the part of the capital structure they are providing and the risks inherent in the underlying property.

 Mezzanine Financing
Mezzanine financing is typically used to finance the expansion of existing companies, and it is basically debt capital that gives the lender the rights to convert to an ownership or equity interest in the company if the loan is not paid back in time and in full.
Since mezzanine financing is usually provided to the borrower very quickly with little due diligence on the part of the lender and little or no collateral on the part of the borrower, this type of financing is aggressively priced with the lender seeking a return in the 20%-30% range.
Mezzanine financing is advantageous because it is treated like equity on a company's balance sheet and may make it easier to obtain standard bank financing.

At that time, mezzanine technology was used more to solve the manufacturer's problems (who did not want to manufacture many different boards) than the problem of the customer (who was looking for a general approach).
When deciding on a mezzanine technology one should have a look at the sizes a mezzanine board may have and the connectors that are used.

 Mezzanine Debt--Another Level To Consider
Mezzanine debt capital generally refers to that layer of financing between a company's senior debt and equity.

Typically, an average performing mezzanine fund is able to avoid the steep negative returns compared to a pure equity fund as a result of the contractual cash coupon.

 Hotel & Motel Management: Mezzanine financing's role changes as recovery unfolds - Special Report
