What Our Clients are Saying

“TM Capital performed expertly and in a highly collaborative manner when Climax was in need of guidance and support for a recent debt refinancing solution. The arranged credit agreement was necessary for our company to swap out an existing obligation that was coming to term, plus allowed for additional liquidity. We appreciated TM’s active involvement, impressive intellect and consistent responsiveness. Given their network reach, organized approach and focused determination, we would refer TM to others and certainly utilize their services for future projects.”
