Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
A proportional distribution, meaning each party receives an amount based on their share of the whole. This concept often applies to distributions or payments among multiple stakeholders.
In some business structures or when distributing proceeds, payments might be made on a pro-rata share basis. For SBA loans, if multiple lenders or creditors hold different liens on collateral, asset recovery might be distributed pro-rata based on their lien priority or agreement. It means you get what's proportional to your stake.
