How the business works
Main Street earns from debt and equity investments in private businesses and from an outside asset-management platform. Interest, portfolio-company dividends and adviser income contribute after financing and operating costs. Its regular monthly and regularly paid quarterly supplemental dividends both matter in the income test.
