Superior Business Lending Advising on Over $100 Million in Mezzanine Loans as Banks Pull Back

Superior Business Lending is currently advising on more than $100 million in active mezzanine and stretch financing assignments, highlighting a growing shift among private equity-backed companies seeking capital beyond traditional lending channels. As banks continue to scale back their appetite for leverage and asset-backed lending, private equity sponsors are increasingly turning to non-bank options to support acquisitions, recapitalizations, and growth strategies. Mezzanine and stretch financing have emerged as essential tools to bridge the gap in today’s more conservative lending climate.

“Our current deal pipeline reflects a massive uptick in demand for flexible, creative capital solutions,” said Jeff Gerstner, Owner and Founder of Superior Business Lending. “With banks stepping back, firms still need to execute on growth plans. That’s where mezzanine loans and stretch structures are filling the void.”

These non-dilutive capital sources enable companies to preserve equity while gaining access to the leverage needed for expansion or restructuring. Superior Business Lending’s advisory services help structure and secure capital that aligns with each client’s financial goals and operational realities.

With decades of experience and a nationwide lender network, the advisors at Superior Business Lending continue to serve as trusted nonbank lending experts in Chicagoland to businesses navigating a rapidly evolving financial landscape. Whether businesses are looking at equipment funding options, bridge loans, merchant cash advances, or business acquisitions, Superior Business Lending can become a lifeline to borrowers looking for alternatives to traditional bank loans.
