Profile
Directly and indirectly originates senior secured loans for U.S. private middle-market companies. The publicly listed BDC is externally managed by SLR Capital Partners and extends beyond cash-flow lending through asset-based, specialty-finance, and equipment-finance platforms.
Directly and indirectly originates senior secured loans to U.S. private middle-market companies through a publicly listed business development company. The externally managed vehicle is advised by SLR Capital Partners, which uses direct origination and a private-equity-style credit-underwriting approach. Financing activities also include investments in specialty commercial-finance affiliates. This structure links the core lending vehicle with related finance platforms.
Alongside cash-flow lending, the broader SLR Platform provides asset-based lending and specialty-finance strategies, and the company owns SLR Equipment Finance. The business development company election and external-management model shape its operating framework.
