"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."

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.

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.
CFO, All Craft Marine d/b/a Century Boats
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. Their leadership, counsel and expertise helped us navigate through a complex re-financing of our debt that brought much needed liquidity to our company. 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.

We're excited to have secured funding needed to open up additional opportunities and continue our strong growth trajectory. I'd like to thank Essex Capital, as their wealth of knowledge and connections in the small to midsize debt markets proved invaluable for us. Bob and Rob know how to get a deal done.
Vice President of Business and Finance, BookIt.com, Inc.
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.

Faced with an existing bank facility that was limiting our line of credit availability, Essex was able to arrange an ABL solution that allowed for a significant liquidity improvement. With the new line, Cole will have the extra capacity to execute our growth plan moving forward. Essex was successful in delivering the exact financing indicated up front.
President & CEO, Cole Industrial & Technical Supply, Inc.
Essex Capital played a crucial role in helping our company obtain the capital we needed to continue to grow. In less than 12 months, they assisted us in putting in place an asset based loan program that provides us with working capital necessary for us to continue our revenue growth, and also executed a longer term financing program that gives us the financial strength we need to take advantage of market opportunities that exist for us both now and in the future.
