SLR investment Corp

SLR Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: SLRC) is a publicly traded Business Development Company (BDC) founded in 2010 that focuses on senior secured lending to private U.S. middle market companies. Its primary offering for business borrowers is Sponsor Finance — cash flow loans structured for companies backed by private equity or financial sponsors — with financing available up to $10 million. Through affiliated platforms, SLR also provides asset-based working capital facilities, equipment financing, and lender finance solutions, giving it flexibility across asset classes. Because SLR targets sponsor-backed middle market businesses rather than early-stage or owner-operated small businesses, it appears best suited for established companies with institutional equity backing seeking structured credit. No minimum credit score or time-in-business threshold is published, though deal complexity and sponsor relationships will likely drive underwriting decisions. Rated investment grade by Moody's and Fitch, SLR carries a conservative, capital-preservation orientation that may appeal to borrowers who value institutional discipline over speed.
