SLR Investment Corp. (NasdaqGS:SLRC) is looking for acquisitions. Michael Gross, Chairman and Co-CEO said, "Looking forward, we expect broad origination opportunities to be driven by a combination of increased M&A activity, loan maturities and regulatory/credit contraction forces impacting regional banks to the benefit of middle market lenders such as SLRC.

In addition, as the regional banker's location continues to unfold, we are seeing increased opportunities to expand our specialty finance capabilities through tuck-in acquisitions for existing commercial finance portfolio companies, to add or acquire portfolio teams, partner or to acquire portfolio of specialty finance assets. SLRC's broad foundation of diversified commercial finance businesses have the resources and experience to acquire portfolios and service loans on an opportunistic basis".
