Your partners in growth

As your capital needs continue to grow, Growth Capital grows along with you. We invest across the balance sheet, including first lien unitranche, second lien facilities behind bank capital, and equity co-investments. We are enterprise value lenders who can scale our investments from $5 million to $100 million. Our investments include a compelling mix of cost of capital and flexibility to support growing companies.

We offer a variety of debt structures and equity co-investments that can be modified over time to adapt to changing business realities. Our specialties range from senior secured to junior lien to equity, and typically include extended interest-only periods, flexible amortization schedules and covenants and delayed draw capabilities with typical maturities of five years.

Importantly, we bring the same level of attention, enthusiasm, expertise and creativity to every transaction—no matter the size.
