Because they know the lender landscape so well, Concord was able to walk us through how best to position the company and structure our financing to give us the best outcome in a tough credit environment. Their professionalism and ability to move quickly in getting the transaction completed was outstanding – we were able to close the transaction within 45 days which is very noteworthy in the current market. We would recommend Concord to any company looking for help with their financing needs.

Purr-Ferred PetFood

M. Brooks Turkel, CPA, FACHE - Financial Executive for Purr-Ferred PetFood, LLC

When we started working with Tom Jones and the Concord Team, we hoped to leverage Concord’s broad nationwide network of financing resources to help us find the right financing partner. Our situation was somewhat unique with the nature of our receivables, but the Concord team found a nationally recognized lender that specializes in advancing against milestone invoices and some bonded receivables. Concord was able to leverage their vast knowledge of the debt markets and procure a very attractive and creative deal structure under our particular circumstances. The Concord team was extremely responsive to all of our needs and did a fantastic job leading us step-by-step through the entire debt financing process, right up until the day of closing. Our deal closed much sooner than anticipated and we are very happy with our new lender and the results.

Intelligent Transportation Services Company

Brian Tom, CFO and J. B. Kendrick, President

At the beginning of our process, the team at Concord Financial Advisors took the time to fully understand our business and what we were looking for in a new lending partner. By effectively pre-screening lenders from their extensive network before the process started, they quickly developed a very competitive process that ultimately led to a much improved credit facility and financial partner in CIBC for Summit Golf Brands. I highly recommend Tom Jones and his team to any company thinking about exploring new options in the credit markets.

Summit Golf Brands, Inc.

Chad Delp, President & CEO

We were pleased to work with Tom Jones and his team at Concord. Our portfolio company needed to replace an existing senior lender, and Concord was there to help. Although we have many lender relationships, given the size of the financing needed, the complexity of our company’s capital structure, and operational challenges due to COVID-19, we didn’t have the right connections to get a financing done. Concord tapped into its substantial rolodex of lenders across the spectrum of Banks and Fincos to create a short list of attractive lenders for our needs. Because Concord knows the lender universe so well, they were able to counsel us on how best to position the company and structure our financing to give us the best chance of success in a very tough credit market. In the end, Concord was able to negotiate a deal on our behalf that allowed our company the liquidity and capital we needed to grow. I highly recommend Concord for debt placement services.

Tom Jones and the team at Concord provided a complimentary assessment of our business and debt financing needs. Based on that review, Concord was able to execute our proposal by screening and qualifying the best Lenders for our credit request and ensure we obtained the best possible terms in the middle of a pandemic. They were strong advocates on our behalf and negotiated a deal structure that worked well for CoreCentric. Concord saved us valuable time by quickly aligning Lenders with our strategic objectives. We highly recommend utilizing Concord’s services for companies looking to restructure their debt financing requirements.”
