The Small Business Investment Company (SBIC)
program is a unique public/private partnership that has provided $46
billion in financing to almost 100,000 small U.S. companies since
the program’s creation in 1958. SBICs are privately organized and
managed venture capital firms licensed by the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) to make equity capital or long-term loans
available to small companies. These small companies often require
financing in the critical $250,000 to $5 million range that is
generally not available through banks or non-SBIC private equity
firms. SBICs fill that gap, supporting thousands of U.S. small
businesses each year. The National Association of Small
Business Investment Companies (NASBIC) – is the professional
association for the SBIC industry and the oldest organization of
venture capitalists in the world. For nearly 50 years NASBIC has
played a pivotal role in building, maintaining, and promoting a
strong and profitable SBIC industry to better serve the
growth-capital needs of America’s small businesses.
