Investment thesis
Greenline establishes deep relationships with clients and mission-driven investors to provide flexible capital that positively impacts underserved businesses and communities while generating attractive risk-adjusted returns. The firm customizes financing on a case-by-case basis using senior secured debt, subordinated debt, and equity co-investments. Leveraging the New Markets Tax Credit program, Greenline offers more favorable pricing and terms than traditional lenders to eligible borrowers in low-income census tracts and small-to-medium businesses seeking growth capital that is either unavailable through traditional channels or less dilutive than conventional private equity.
