Running a lower middle market business in today’s economic climate poses unique challenges. Unpredictable market fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates – these factors create uncertainty and strain cash flows. Many business owners feel they are on a rollercoaster ride, bracing themselves for sudden turns and drops.
Access to capital is essential, yet financing feels precarious. Companies need working capital to cover costs and fund growth plans.
