LBC Small Cap, an affiliate of LBC Credit Partners, provided a senior secured credit facility and equity co-investment to support Susquehanna Private Capital, LLC’s (“SPC”) acquisition of Authority Franchise Systems, LLC (“Mosquito Authority” or the “Company”).

LBC served as Agent and Sole Lead Arranger for the senior secured credit facility.

North Carolina-based Mosquito Authority is a franchisor of mosquito, pest, and tick control services throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Mosquito Authority was founded in 2002 and has grown to over 150 franchises. The Company also owns and operates Pest Authority, which provides commercial and residential services for ticks, bed bugs and termites.

“We are excited to partner with SPC and Mosquito Authority on this investment,” said Don Rice, Partner at LBC Small Cap. “Mosquito Authority is a compelling franchise concept providing essential home services with significant runway for potential growth.”

SPC, funded by the founders of Susquehanna International Group, LLP – one of the world’s largest privately-held financial services firms – was founded in 2016. With a flexible capital structure, SPC empowers founders, entrepreneurs, and operators to build businesses with enduring value. SPC targets U.S. companies in the business, consumer and franchise services, healthcare services, and industrial technology sectors with $3 million to $15 million in EBITDA.

LBC Small Cap partnered with Modern Bank to provide the senior secured credit facility to Mosquito Authority.
