TESTIMONIALS

We’ve worked closely with the team at Partners for Growth over the past year and I have to say, the experience has been a very good one. I would characterize PfG as creative, responsive and honest. Creativity is great, responsiveness is wonderful, but I cannot say enough about how highly I value their honesty. We’ve all been in situations, too many situations, where the initial offer sounds great but the deal you close is somehow different. The highest compliment I can pay Andrew, Don and the PfG team is to say that they are true to their word. They did what they said they would and that enabled us to stay focused on growing our business without missing a beat.

PfG listened to what we needed and structured a creative, custom financing solution so our company could undertake a strategic acquisition . . .
—Anthony Scalese
   CFO, Qualmark Corporation

Even though our needs changed and we did not close a transaction with PfG, we were very impressed by PfG’s professional approach and their ability to customize their financing to our needs.
—John Thompson
   CFO, Kana Software, Inc.
 
 
The fact is you provided us with the flexibility and runway so we could make the right decision in our timescale rather than grasp at the first opportunity that came along.  Having that flexibilty counts for a lot in my book and we are grateful - you've also been supportive to me and to airwide from the start of our relationship - that really helped.
—Roger Pepperell
 
Partners For Growth takes their name very seriously, because they’ve been a great partner to Comverge as we’ve grown rapidly. Working with a growth oriented firm like PFG, they understand that there is no status quo. Their willingness to be flexible and creative as the business developed helped ensure growth was facilitated, not empeded. PFG frequently finds the least complex manner of structuring the deal terms and because you’re working directly with the PFG decision makers there’s a quick response time.

    CEO & President, Comverge,Inc.
 
 
Ekit has a line of credit with PFG to support the rapid growth in our business. We established the first facility with PFG in early 2007, and 12 months later modified and increased the facility due to changing business needs around an acquisition. PFG were great. They provided helpful feedback early in the process and were very quick to respond with options and alternatives. I'm talking about responding with options in a matter of hours rather than weeks, which is the more typical banking experience. The PFG team have demonstrated their willingness to work with us as part of our team in exploring growth and financing alternatives. In addition, they have provided very pragmatic advice on financial matters outside the specifics of their facility, which is a testament to the people involved at PFG.
I'd be very happy to provide additional information to other high growth companies that are looking for a financial partner that is willing to work along side them to grow their business.

   CEO, eKit, Inc.
When the sale of our company ran into difficulties, PfG acted as a true partner and provided us with capital to operate the business until we were able to re-negotiate a successful exit for all shareholders.
—Cal R. Hoagland
   CFO, Interwave Communications Ltd.

PfG was able to provide true value by creating a custom solution tailored to our company’s needs. They were also able to execute the deal and close in a very short period of time to meet our deadline.
—Martin (Marty) Kovacich
   CFO, Sonics, Inc.

We found that the team at Partners for Growth took an active interest in our business and provided a solution where traditional finance sources fell short. We value their creative approach and can-do attitude.

Partners For Growth is unique in its focus on, and commitment to, providing powerful, effective financing alternatives for high growth companies – without uneconomic deal terms or overly complex terms and structures.  From our very first meeting with them, the PFG team focused on our company’s needs and approached the financing transaction as a relationship with a real win-win mentality.  I cannot say enough how easy and fair PFG was to work with.
