Client Testimonial

After spending the first 20 years of my working life obsessed with forming and growing a business that I love and enjoy, selecting a partner that was the right fit to work alongside our team to take Z1 Motorsports forward to the next level was a daunting task. Our decision to engage with TM Capital early, at a time seemingly prematurely, to guide us through this process was the best decision we could have made.  The TM team took the time necessary to really understand our business and, equally importantly, to understand us personally. They were able to find what we considered to be the needle in a haystack partner and then strategically coach us through the process of executing a transaction - both financially and emotionally - to a fantastic outcome.  We were thoroughly impressed with both the work ethic and mental aptitude of the TM Capital team.   I now consider Jim and the TM team not only outstanding professionals, but trusted friends. I look forward to working with TM Capital again on future endeavors.”
