FORTIUS views small businesses as the backbone of our economy. In today’s business climate, these small and mid-sized financial services companies must be flexible and nimble in order to thrive in this fiercely competitive global environment. The mission of FORTIUS Holdings is to provide California’s small businesses with a quicker response to their capital needs whether they require early stage capital, growth equity, mezzanine financing or capital for real estate development opportunities. Our goal is to partner with them to achieve superior long term growth and financial stability by drawing on our vast public and private experience and resources. As a private equity and venture fund, FORTIUS has the advantage of adapting quickly to the needs of entrepreneurs and portfolio companies. We are committed to driving the success of all small businesses, with special interest in those owned by Hispanics and women.
