All growth strategies have certain things in common: a good product or service, quality management, a focused business plan, and a financing strategy. When capital requirements exceed the amount a primary lender is willing to lend, the BDCRI helps by providing debt and equity financing.

Management consultants, business brokers, and other advisors are in the business of developing practical solutions to client problems. For them, BDCRI financing is another tool their clients use to build successful companies.

"The BDCRI developed a creative solution by providing capital for business expansion that was not available elsewhere. To complete the package, they identified another financing provider to share the risk."
