    Venture Fund Profile
    Advantage Capital Partners provides capital and value added services to well-managed companies with superior growth potential. We strive to help talented entrepreneurs develop and realize their goals. By doing so, we hope to generate superior returns on our invested capital. Fundamental to the achievement of these objectives is the development and maintenance of strong relationships built on trust, respect, and an unswerving conviction to providing value to both our investors and our entrepreneur partners.

    Advantage has a unique SBA program that Doug will discuss at our April 30th event. Entrepreneurs should come to learn more about these programs, as an alternative source of financing:

    “Our criteria for SBA lending is relatively simple. We can make loans up to $1.3 million. We would like the company to be at or very near break even with a very clear plan that uses the loan to become solidly cash flow positive. We would look at a startup if the management team is strong and a significant percentage of the loan were to be used to purchase capital equipment. The ideal situation would be a company that needs expansions capital to meet the demand of an existing market.” - Doug Beekman
