Frequently asked questions
Is Small Business Community Capital a single family office or an asset manager?
SBCC is an asset manager structured as an SBIC-licensed impact fund. It is not a family office. The firm pools external capital to invest in lower-middle-market U.S. businesses and is governed by the regulatory framework of the Small Business Investment Company program administered by the SBA.
How does SBCC source its proprietary deal flow?
SBCC identifies investments, in part, through its stated ecosystem of Chambers of Commerce, industry associations, corporate roundtables, and councils, as well as relationships with operating executives and corporations. The firm also fields inbound interest through its website. No broker-dealer or dedicated origination platform is disclosed.
What does SBCC's impact mandate actually require in a deal?
Portfolio companies must meet at least one of three criteria: be a woman- or minority-owned business, operate in a Low-to-Moderate Income community, or demonstrate job creation in underserved areas. Per the firm, more than 80% of investments in the precedent fund met these standards.
Does SBCC participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
SBCC invests only directly into operating companies. The firm provides customized capital solutions — senior debt, subordinated debt, and equity — to individual small and lower-middle-market businesses. It does not commit capital to external private equity or venture capital funds.
What investment stages does SBCC typically target?
SBCC targets stable, cash-flow-positive businesses with at least three years of operating history. It pursues growth capital, acquisition financing, recapitalizations, refinancings, and ownership transitions. The firm does not seed startups or provide pre-revenue venture financing.
Who runs investment decisions at SBCC?
The firm lists four managing partners — Aurelio Almonte, Jay Garcia, Monika Mantilla, and J. Pablo Mariño — and one partner, Crandall Deery. SBCC describes its principals as having over 100 years of collective private debt, equity, and operating experience in the lower-middle market, though individual voting or committee structures are not publicly detailed.
How is SBCC related to any parent company or spinout vehicle?
SBCC does not disclose a parent entity, affiliated family office, or spinout relationship. The firm presents itself as an independent, partnership-led asset manager organized specifically around its SBIC fund structure.
