HOUSTON, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") is pleased to announce that it recently completed a follow-on investment in an existing portfolio company. Main Street and its co-investor made the follow-on investment in Iron-Main Investments, LLC ("Iron-Main" or the "Company") in continued partnership with the Company's other equity investors to support the Company's acquisition of a company that specializes in pre-employment background checks and ancillary related services primarily in the industrial and healthcare industries.
