All businesses need legal advice at one time or another. They also benefit from guidance on a range of related business growth issues, including sources of financing. Many lawyers consider it wise counsel to refer their clients to the BDC.

The BDCRI prides itself in developing creative solutions to help established as well as emerging companies finance their growth. For example, in addition to direct or subordinated debt, we can provide substantial financing to companies on a junior basis with an SBA guarantee, most often in the form of a term loan. We'll even make equity investments part of our overall financing package.

"The BDCRI is a valuable resource to emerging businesses seeking growth capital, ranging from mezzanine debt structured to satisfy senior lender requirements, to equity capital."
