How participation and/or lending works

Participation and/or syndicated lending can involve two or multiple lenders, and one lender is the lead originating lender. A participation agreement is executed among all lenders that sets loan types, roles, and fee splits for every partner. In two-party deals we co-lend by buying and equally sharing risk with our partner in proportion with the amount of loan capital provided. In multi-party deals, we tailor the proportional share of funding and risk depending on the needs for the project financed. The originating lender is the borrower’s primary contact, leads underwriting, and manages direct loan servicing, giving the borrower one seamless loan.
