OFS Capital Corporation functions as a business development company, delivering adaptable capital solutions, predominantly through debt financing and, to a lesser degree, minority equity investments. The firm concentrates on U.S.-based middle-market enterprises across a wide spectrum of sectors, deliberately avoiding investments in operational turnarounds or nascent businesses. Its investment approach encompasses direct funding, participating in funds, and facilitating add-on acquisitions. Within its direct investment strategy, OFS Capital provides expertise in various financial structures, including debt and structured equity, recapitalizations, refinancing operations, management and leveraged buyouts, acquisition funding, events for shareholder liquidity, and growth capital. It also supports independent sponsor transactions, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), and minority investments in lower middle-market companies. Targeted industries include aerospace and defense, business services, consumer products and services, food and beverage, healthcare services, specialty chemicals, transportation and logistics, value-added distribution, franchising, and niche industrial manufacturing. The firm seeks out U.S.-based companies that generate revenues between $10 million and $200 million, have an annual EBITDA exceeding $5 million, and possess an enterprise value from $10 million to $500 million. Individual investments typically range from $5 million to $35 million, with debt-specific investments falling between $5 million and $25 million. OFS Capital utilizes a diverse set of financial tools, including senior secured loans, unitranche facilities, first-lien and second-lien debt, subordinated or mezzanine loans, warrants, preferred equity securities, and common equity. The company is open to acquiring both minority and majority stakes in its investments and frequently collaborates with co-investors to access additional capital.
