Garrison Capital Inc. Receives “Green Light” Letter from the U.S. Small Business Administration
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – May 29, 2014 – Garrison Capital Inc., a business development company (NASDAQ: GARS), today announced that the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") has issued a "green light" letter inviting Garrison Capital Inc. to proceed with an application to obtain a license to form and operate a Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") subsidiary.
