Frequently asked questions

What type of financing does Great Rock Capital provide?

Great Rock Capital provides senior secured, asset-based loans and cash-flow term loans to middle-market companies. Its facilities are typically structured as revolving lines of credit and term loans, secured by a company's receivables, inventory, equipment, and real estate. The firm targets hold sizes up to approximately $30 million per borrower.

Does Great Rock Capital take equity stakes or board seats?

No. Great Rock Capital operates exclusively as a credit provider and does not take equity ownership or board control in its portfolio companies. Its return profile is derived entirely from interest income, fees, and principal repayment on senior secured loans, distinguishing it from private equity firms that seek capital appreciation through ownership.

What kinds of companies does Great Rock Capital lend to?

Is Great Rock Capital a single-family office?
