Jefferson Growth Equity Fund will expand on Jefferson Capital’s track record providing growth capital to small businesses, through equity securities with minority ownership positions. These growth equity investments provide small businesses with a source of patient, flexible capital to help them achieve business objectives, including expansions, acquisitions, and refinancings. Jefferson Capital positions itself as a true, responsive partner so that when combined with a business’ inherent value, these investments not only enhance the reach of its equity base, but they make a business more attractive to traditional sources of capital, such as bank financing, lowering a company’s cost of capital, and expanding the types of capital sources available to the entrepreneur and small business owner.
