So I have a call later with someone pretty high up at GE capital and I'm trying to understand what exactly they do so I don't sound retarded. I know they basically lend debt to other companies, but can someone explain what mezzanine lending is? Also what is "single lien"? Don't even know how to pronounce that. Thanks

Pronounced like lean. Mezz lending is unsecured/subordinated debt with higher rates because of the lower priority in BK proceedings. GE Capital finances a ton of stuff, but it sounds like your guy works with mezz so you probably won't be talking about asset-based lending or the sale of receivables. They are a non-bank bank so they can lend with less regulation and are huge so they can load their balance sheet with a ton of whatever if they feel like it. Some articles about them that may give help with context and where they are headed.
