ValorBridge Partners: Efficient Long-Term Capital for the Middle Market
We are hearing that businesses and their owners (from large cap corporates to family founders) are seeking quieter, less-public solutions to achieve their time-sensitive capital needs and objectives. Mazzone has worked with ValorBridge Partners for almost a decade and is ready, able and willing to help middle market business meet those needs and objectives.
ValorBridge is a long-term investor with over $500 million in assets and significant liquidity across diverse industries. Among its current portfolio of companies are:
ApolloMD, a healthcare service provider focused on hospital emergency rooms;
Crown Asset Management, a financial services business; and
Guardian Fueling Technologies, a provider of turnkey solutions for the fuel distribution industry.
ValorBridge has invested everywhere on the balance sheet from senior debt to mezzanine debt to equity. We focus on the right capital for the business to success and grow, then price the capital to align management with ValorBridge to deliver returns for both as management meets its goals and objectives. All ValorBridge companies are protected with barriers to entry for competitors and have strong management teams.
Please reach out if you are seeking liquidity or structured solutions for debt or equity positions and wish to transact directly and discreetly with an agile, no-nonsense long-term investor. We take great pride in our reputation for speed and certainty despite the current environment, just as we did during the Great Recession.
No one can accurately predict what lies ahead, but we feel the ultimate winners that will emerge from this are the companies and investors that shift the paradigm to prioritize: liquidity, adequate capital bases, and reasonable debt profiles. These three things, along with operational resources that provide some sort of path back to normalcy, will allow us as a nation to successfully emerge through this crisis. ValorBridge and Mazzone intend to lead the way for middle market companies trying to navigate the current storm.
With this unprecedented crisis, much is required of us as a society to address the risks of COVID-19. We must all work together as we traverse through this situation. Please take care and let us all do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19.
