Lake Country Capital

Lake Country Capital (LC2) is a Minneapolis-based SBIC debt and equity investment firm focused on lower middle market businesses across the United States. It offers flexible capital solutions starting at $1 million, including term loans, lines of credit, and mezzanine capital, alongside senior and subordinated loans, transitional capital, growth capital, and vendor leasing programs. Because LC2 operates in the private equity and SBIC space, minimum monthly revenue of $1 million is required — this is not a fit for early-stage or smaller businesses. There is no stated minimum time in business or credit score requirement, suggesting deal evaluation is driven by cash flow and business fundamentals rather than formulaic credit criteria. LC2 appears well suited for established lower middle market companies seeking structured, flexible financing beyond what traditional banks typically offer.
