Fidus Investment Corp
Glance View
Fidus Investment Corp. is a specialty finance company that lends money and sometimes buys small ownership stakes in lower middle market businesses, usually companies backed by private equity sponsors. It focuses on established U.S. businesses that need capital for growth, acquisitions, or ownership changes but may not want to borrow from a traditional bank. The company makes money mainly by earning interest and fees on its loans, plus income from equity investments and warrants when those companies do well. Its customers are not consumers; they are business owners, management teams, and private equity firms looking for flexible financing that sits between a bank loan and a full equity sale. What makes Fidus different is its role as a business development company, or BDC. BDCs are built to provide capital to smaller companies that often have limited access to public markets, and Fidus combines lending with selective equity exposure so it can share in both downside protection from debt and upside potential from ownership stakes.
