What are the rationales behind an investment made by a PC firm?

Prepping for PC/DL interviews and case studies, I am wondering what are the rationale/qualities that PC firms are looking at for an investment? How do you determine if you should lend to this company? (Been thinking about things like stable CF…etc but would love to hear more)
