Growth Opportunity Fidus Capital manages over $1.5 billion in AUM as a BDC and is actively expanding in lower middle market finance, presenting a sizeable potential for new debt and equity co-investment partnerships with sponsor-backed, founder-owned, or private equity-backed portfolio companies across multiple industries.

Cross-Sell Potential With capabilities spanning senior secured, unitranche, mezzanine, and equity co-investments, propose integrated financing solutions to portfolio companies seeking capital structure optimization, refinancing, or growth equity from existing and new sponsor relationships.
