“Using Chicago as a base, the owner of the Minnesota Twins is taking a swing at lending to midsize companies. Formed last February, MFC Capital Funding provides loans ranging from $3 million to $25 million to lower middle-market companies, typically privately held businesses ranging in size from $10 million to $100 million in revenue. More than 2 million companies nationwide fit that bill, MFC estimates.”
