Business
Capital Southwest Corporation (NASDAQ: CSWC), founded in 1961 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is an internally managed, credit-focused business development company that provides flexible financing solutions, including first-lien senior secured debt, unitranche, second-lien, subordinated debt, and non-control equity co-investments, to lower middle-market companies with EBITDA between $3 million and $20 million to support growth financing, bolt-on acquisitions, new platform acquisitions, refinancing, dividend recapitalizations, sponsor-led buyouts, and management buyouts across diverse industries throughout the United States. The firm targets investments ranging from $5 million to $75 million, primarily in directly originated deals, while remaining open to club deals and partnerships with financial sponsors, private equity groups, investment banks, and business brokers, and avoids startups, publicly traded companies, real estate developments, oil and gas exploration, troubled turnarounds, and departing management situations. Recent developments include robust deployment of $166 million in new committed capital during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, comprising $162 million in first-lien senior secured debt and $3 million in equity across seven new portfolio companies plus add-on financings for ten existing ones; pricing a public offering of notes in September 2025; announcing regular and supplemental dividends for quarters through June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2026; receiving a second Small Business Investment Company license for a subsidiary to expand financing capacity; and sustaining portfolio growth to nearly $1.4 billion in fair value by year-end 2024 following the prior acquisition of Main Street Capital's SBIC I portfolio.
