The Small Business Administration has announced a new fund that will focus exclusively on providing capital to Michigan businesses.

The InvestMichigan! Mezzanine Fund will provide up to $130 million of investment capital over the next five years to high-growth businesses throughout Michigan. The SBA will provide $80 million at no cost to the taxpayers, said SBA Administrator Karen Mills in a press call July 26.
