Mandated Lead Arranger (MLA)

In finance, the term mandated lead arrangers (MLA) denotes an entity which determines the terms and conditions of a syndicated loan. The primary purpose of an MLA is to structure loans in such a way as to make them attractive to lenders. MLAs also mediate between borrowers and lenders.

The term is most widely used in relation to high-value syndicated business loans. MLAs are typically investments banks which negotiate and structure business loans and typically provide a significant portion of the capital required. By backing a syndicated loan, an MLA shows good faith in a business and encourages other lenders to participate in the syndicated loan.

When a syndicated loan has a single MLA, the MLA is known as the sole mandated lead arranger. An loan may also have multiple MLAs (the joint mandated lead arrangers of the loan).
