Mountain Ridge Capital provides highly customized asset-based revolver and term loans to lower middle-market businesses and utilizes an industry agnostic approach to consider advancing against all types of collateral. MRC targets lending to privately held family owned and private equity backed businesses requiring liquidity to support business transitions, including turnarounds, restructuring, acquisitions and changes in ownership or control. The MRC platform was created in response to the Country’s growing demand for non-bank debt financing, which can be secured without unnecessarily slow and cumbersome bank committees, extended due diligence cycles, or lengthy legal processes. MRC offers borrowers quick turnaround times and has a team of experts that understand all types of collateral, not just traditional A/R and inventory, which results in higher advance rates and more overall liquidity as compared to many traditional banks products.
