Testimonials

Concord pre-screened our deal and introduced us to our new lender to discuss the pros and cons of the deal, the structure, and how best to get it done prior to our engaging Concord. Once engaged, we were able to immediately start a deal process and close with that lender who has fulfilled our capital needs to provide for our future growth. We highly recommend Concord for anyone looking for debt financing. Their ability to move to a closing efficiently and economically is impressive. And their dedication to their clients and getting the deal done is equally impressive.

ACMS Group, Inc.

Bo DePaoli, CEO

This is the second time we have utilized the services of Concord to assist the Company in finding a new lending partner. Concord was able to quickly assemble a targeted group of potential lenders that resulted in a successful closing with a new partner. We are confident this new partner is the right fit for our current and future financing needs.

Company CEO

The Concord Team pre-screened our transaction with a short list of preferred lenders (banks and non-banks), at no cost, before we even hired them. When we did hire them, Concord hit the ground running, quickly sourcing several attractive proposals, and closed our deal in about 60 days.

We received a flexible, creative and favorable deal structure that provides us with plenty of availability to meet our growth objectives. We are very impressed with Concord’s work ethic, ABL expertise, national network of lenders and their 24/7 dedication to customer service.

We are very happy with our new lender and highly recommend Concord Financial Advisors for any company looking for debt financing.

Company CFO

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.

We are exceptionally pleased with our choice of Concord Financial Advisors, LLC. Tom Jones and the Concord team combine unique and extraordinary debt placement expertise with outstanding 24/7 personalized service.

We were pleased to work with Tom Jones and his team at Concord. 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.

Henry F. Teichmann, Inc.

Andrew Sticha, Treasurer

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.

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.

Chad Delp, President & CEO

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.”
