Testimonials
PFG stepped up at a critical stage of our company, offering a flexible convertible debt line, which provided necessary capital for growth during a challenging time in the financial markets. The financing complemented our existing debt facilities and was structured in a way that actually enhanced our ability to maintain compliance with the covenants of our existing debt. I have found the PFG team to be very creative, responsive and easy to work with throughout the process, including design, negotiation and utilization of the line.
— Larry Betterley, CFO, Cardiovascular Systems Inc.
We approached PfG for term debt financing needs when we were trying to consummate a complex acquisition transaction. Our ability to close on this financing was required in order for us to pull the combination together. The PfG team did an amazing job of quickly coming up to speed on our current and proposed business models and customizing a loan offering to meet our needs. We were impressed with the dedication of the team in moving quickly to put a transaction in place in a compressed time frame. Our relationship with PfG allowed us to create a stronger business and deliver outstanding value for our investors.
— James McCormick, CFO, Crossing Automation Inc.
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.
—Tony DiStefano, CEO, Arrival Communications Inc.
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, CFO, Airwide Solutions
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.
—Robert Chiste, 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.
—John Diamond, 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.
—Willem A. Robberts, President, LiveNote Technologies
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.
