Commercial Loan Syndication Services
Greater Commercial Lending works with banks, credit unions, and institutional lenders to structure and manage syndicated loans that align with their strategic lending goals. Our commercial loan syndication services enable partner institutions to participate in high-value lending opportunities while maintaining regulatory compliance and risk controls.
What is Commercial Loan Syndication?
Commercial loan syndication is a collaborative financing structure in which multiple lenders (referred to as members of the syndicate) share the funding and risk of a single large business loan. A lead institution (referred to as the lead syndicate) coordinates the loan agreement, credit facilities, servicing, and other details. Each syndicate member then originates separate loans to the borrower, as outlined in the syndicate agreement. The group collectively benefits from shared exposure and access to larger lending opportunities that they could not fund on their own.
Loan participation differs slightly, as participating institutions purchase portions of a loan through the commercial loan secondary market; however, they do not have a direct relationship with the borrower.
Strategic benefits of a loan syndication:
- Risk mitigation
- Balance sheet optimization
- Portfolio diversification
- Regulatory compliance
- Operational efficiency
