Passively invest in SMB opportunities. 🇺🇸 |
Mainshares connects accredited investors with small businesses. The platform has vetted opportunities in American brick & mortar businesses with reliable cash flows. |
Why SMBs? |
Diversify your portfolio. Gain exposure to alternatives outside of the public markets. Mainshares helps you access the private equity asset class through SMBs. Build passive cash flow. Many SMB acquisitions plan to make quarterly or annual distributions to investors, providing strong cash-on-cash returns to passive owners. Achieve levered returns. Unlike middle market private equity, small businesses trade at relatively lower multiples and typically are bought with 60-90% leverage from SBA loans. These mechanics can provide strong appreciation at exit. Invest in your community. SMBs form the backbone of the US, bringing together communities and providing a majority of job growth. It's critical that they stay independent and locally owned.
