Essex Capital Group is a family-owned corporate financial advisory firm founded in 2003. Since inception, the principals have arranged more than $850 million of financing for 130+ small and middle market companies located across the United States.
The firm specializes in helping business owners and CFOs navigate the ever-changing financial landscape. In the current environment, many businesses that have historically financed their operations through conventional bank deals simply cannot qualify under heightened regulatory scrutiny at the commercial banks.
If you have been turned down on a financing request by a bank underwriting department, Essex may be able to help arrange financing from a private, more aggressive "specialty finance company". These pools of capital are specifically organized to fund financing niches not serviced by commercial banks. Essex has cultivated a deep network of such financing sources for varying types of capital, industry, credit history and geography.

"We were fighting for cash for months and we were constantly turned down by banks and other financial institutions. We consulted with Essex Capital Group and they listened. They saw the potential in VoltAir and they believed in our dream! Thanks to Essex, VoltAir is able to turn on the heat again and is no longer burdened with cash limitations."
VOLTAIR PRESIDENT AND CEO
"We recognized an opportunity to vertically integrate our business through two pharmacy acquisitions. In hiring an investment banking firm to negotiate, structure and finance these transactions, we interviewed several firms. After a detailed review of available options, we chose to hire Essex Capital Group to lead the process.
Working closely with Rob and Bob over the last 6 months was a pleasure. They delivered on what they said they would do, and they exceeded my expectations in the level of professionalism, deal structuring creativity and tenacity displayed in getting a complicated transaction completed. We now consider Essex a vital business partner as we move forward with other growth opportunities."
CAN CEO
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.
CFO, Anderson Hydra Platforms, Inc., Anderson Crane & Bridge Technologies, Inc.
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."
Owner Kingcom, LLC
"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."
President, Cornerstone Industrial Minerals Corporation, USA
"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."
Chairman, Wayne Oil Company (d/b/a Ballpark Stores)
"We feel the Swains really understood the company's past, present and future needs; were determined to deliver what Everglades Lumber needed.

Additionally, this deal cut our cost of capital by more than 50%. This partnership will be essential as we continue to grow our company. The Swains, or as we like to call them, Uncle Bob and Cousin Rob are now considered part of the Everglades Family."

"Bob and Rob, congratulations, this would not have closed without your hard work. On a few occasions I have done deals and thought it was easy money for the intermediary since they made the introduction and did not have much input into closing. Well you guys have certainly earned your keep! I thoroughly enjoyed working with both of you, you are both professional and very level headed when it comes to what is reasonable for both sides."
