Debt Financing Explained - From Entrepreneur's perspective

Описание: Private equity is permeating a growing swath of the economy, including profitable smaller businesses. In this interview, Juan E. Alva explains his firm’s strategy of providing debt capital to these businesses alongside the private equity firms who invest equity capital. Operating as an SBIC fund, the firm combines capital from private investors with leverage from the U.S. Small Business Administration as part of the total loan, and coupled with creative debt facility structuring, are able to generate higher returns than would otherwise be possible as a senior lender. This interview is yet another example of the increasing breadth and creativity of credit investors and non-bank lenders who are stepping into the gap created as banks pulled back from many types of loans during the Great Financial Crisis.
