Mercantile Capital is a diversified FinServ firm, with its then primary investment an SBIC Fund with investments in 18 portfolio companies. I wore both a business and legal hat at Mercantile, reviewing potential investments, sourcing and raising debt and equity investments, forming and managing 10-SB public “shell” companies and providing outsourced business development and General Counsel services to the portfolio and affiliated companies, including professional minor league sports teams, technology and media companies, an affiliate marketing services company, BPO outsourcer and a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).
I acted as either sole or lead internal counsel on the purchase and sale of a minor league professional baseball team, a minor league professional hockey team, BPO outsourcer, RIA and ultimately, the SBIC Fund.
