I can’t stress enough how critical a partner Essex was in making this complicated deal happen. As a former 30-year banker and now Anderson’s CFO, I have a unique appreciation for the level of professionalism and steady hand Rob and Bob were able to provide while leading us through this deal. Rob...on behalf of my partners, please accept our most sincere gratitude for your proactive, consistent and always uplifting services. Between you and Bob, we felt well guided and...Essex delivered on its promises. We are very grateful for all you have done and look forward to celebrating our successes with you, and to continue using your excellent services in the future. "Bob and Rob Swain of Essex Capital are a breath of fresh air in the world of corporate finance. Once they begin to know you and your business needs, they hone in on ways to help you. No task is too small or too big for their attention. Dealing with ESSEX has been a great pleasure. They have served my company very well and we are in their debt." "We hired Essex Capital to lower our cost of funds and unlock additional liquidity from our assets. Bob and Rob were successful in accomplishing both objectives, literally cutting our cost of funds in half, and we're now well positioned with ample liquidity to further execute our growth plan." "Essex Capital took the time to visit our business on several occasions and asked all of the right questions, leading them to recommend a qualified lender with the appetite for our fast growing manufacturing business. Bob and Rob were extremely responsive and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. Essex Capital will be our first call for future funding requirements." "In the 76 year old history of our family owned business, a family member has typically been in the leadership role of financing or refinancing initiatives. Today's financing dictates that you engage with professionals that understand your company's needs and also what will provide the most long term benefit for the company. Bob and Rob have been extremely instrumental and effective in our recent refinance and it is doubtful we could have achieved the outcome we achieved without their assistance, and in an unusual business and economic climate too."
