A participation loan is a financial arrangement where multiple lenders share in providing a loan, typically with one lender acting as the lead to service the loan. This can distribute the risk and allow for larger loan amounts than a single lender might handle.
A syndicated bank facility, also known as a syndicated loan, is a very large loan provided to a single borrower by a consortium of banks and financial institutions, typically led by a lead bank.
