Q&A with an SBIC Expert
In this tough fund-raising climate, venture capital, venture debt and private equity firms are increasingly turning to the federal government’s Small Business Investment Co. (SBIC) program as a source of capital. In fact, this may be one of the best times to apply for SBIC funding, since the economic stimulus bill increased the maximum amount of SBIC leverage to $225 million for affiliated funds, up from $137 million previously.
