Flatrock

Flatrock provides transformative capital to growing lower-middle-market businesses. Business owners can access $1-5mm in debt or equity to make acquisitions, fund expansion, buy out partners, take cash out (sell a minority stake) and enable family and management transfers, while Flatrock investors can pool their capital, invest deal-by-deal and achieve compelling risk-adjusted returns. There are 320k lower middle market U.S. businesses that struggle raising "transformative capital". Traditional lenders/SBA can be slow, inflexible, and can't always provide adequate funding, while most PE and private debt funds avoid transactions under $5mm. Flatrock provides a solid alternative for entrepreneurs who aren't yet ready to sell their businesses - but are seeking capital to maximize their eventual exit.
