Business Equity Investment Fund

Supporting business owners with longer-term patient capital

Access to capital does not exist on a level playing field. Nectar’s innovative Business Equity Investment Fund supports underrepresented business owners with patient, longer-term financing capital.

Patient capital opportunities

Through the Business Equity Investment Fund, Nectar invests in and purchases equity in your business to support your long-term growth and development. Our investment goes beyond dollars: we’re your strategic partner, offering resources and experience to help you expand, all while giving you the freedom to run your business the way you want.

With competitive terms, cash flow freedom and a genuine interest in your success, we’re working to generate growth and create long-term impact.

“Our partnership with Nectar has changed the trajectory of our company. The access to capital, support and advice the organization has provided has opened doors for us to work with some major companies, which will allow us to reach more athletes and be more impactful on the lives we touch.”

Brent Williams

NXGN Camps President & Founder

The Business Equity Investment Fund is a one-of-a-kind game changer and will help develop many more minority and women owned businesses throughout Massachusetts. The support was vital, not only by providing capital through the purchase of our company stock but also with their strategic council and guidance during our company’s development.
