More Options For Businesses Seeking Private Capital

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Early this year, Business Money Today (www.businessmoneytoday.com) created and published a searchable database of venture capital and angel capital firms in the United States.  These firms provide investment or equity capital to growing small businesses.

Currently, Business Money Today has added an additional capital source to this searchable database – Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) – to allow businesses more options when seeking growth capital to start, manage or grow their businesses.

About Small Business Investment Companies:
Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) are private investment firms similar to venture capital or angel capital companies that provide debt or equity investments to growing, small businesses.  SBICs are privately managed investment firms licensed by the Small Business Administration (SBA).  SBICs utilize their own internal investment funds as well as, through this licensed relationship with the SBA, borrowed federal money at low or favorable rates for investment in small, sound companies.

SBICs primarily invest via equity capital by purchasing equity or shares in these small businesses.  However, SBICs also have the flexibility to tailor investment to each specific company’s needs to include long-term loans (up to 20 years) and convertible debt (a loan the can convert to equity at some future point or event).  SBICs provide an added financing avenue for businesses needing outside investment capital for growth or expansion.
