*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Loan participations let a lender share risk on a large loan without the borrower even being aware of the arrangement — but the participation agreement itself, not the underlying loan documents, is what defines the participant's actual rights, so it deserves careful review.*
