Investment capital

Find an investor for your business through a Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) licensed by the Small Business Administration (SBA).

SBICs invest in small businesses

An SBIC is a privately owned company that’s licensed and regulated by the SBA. SBICs invest in small businesses in the form of debt and equity. The SBA doesn’t invest directly into small businesses, but it does provide funding to qualified SBICs with expertise in certain sectors or industries. Those SBICs then use their private funds, along with SBA-guaranteed funding, to invest in small businesses.

What you can get

SBICs invest in small businesses through debt, equity, or a combination of both. Debt is a loan an SBIC gives to a business, which the business must pay back, along with any interest. Equity is a share of ownership an SBIC gets in a business in exchange for providing funding. Sometimes, an SBIC invests in a business through both debt and equity. Such an investment includes both loans and shares of ownership. A typical SBIC investment is made over a 3-year period.
Debt
A typical SBIC loan has an interest rate between 9% and 16%, ranging from $250,000 to $10 million.
Equity
SBICs will invest in your business in exchange for a share of ownership in your company. Typical investments range from $100,000 to $5 million.
Debt with equity
Financing includes loans and ownership shares. Loan interest rates are typically between 10% and 14%. Investments range from $250,000 to $10 million.

Check your eligibility

SBICs typically target mature, profitable businesses with sufficient cashflow to pay interest. However, each SBIC has its own investment profile in terms of targeted industry, geography, company maturity, and the types and size of financing they provide. There are a few universal requirements.

Be a small business

If your small business is interested in SBIC financing, take the following steps when you approach an SBIC.
