Business Capital announced that Bridge Bank was the recipient of its first annual MVP (Most Valuable Partner) Award, established to recognize partners who have consistently demonstrated shared key attributes, the pursuit of excellence, and reciprocation at the highest level. In 2013, the relationship between these two firms resulted in $37 Million in closed transactions.

Chuck Doyle, Managing Director of Business Capital, said “We have worked with Bridge Bank on multiple engagements where their high level of understanding and expertise in the small and mid-market sector is a valuable asset. They have consistently demonstrated flawless deal execution critical to closing. Their team’s creative, professional and responsive approach has proven instrumental to providing our clients with highly customized and flexible financing solutions. Bridge Bank is a forward-thinking partner that is committed to customer service and can be trusted to deliver swift and effective results.”

The trophy presentation was held at Bridge Bank headquarters in San Jose, CA and was attended by over 35 representatives including both firms.

Lee Shodiss, the Executive V.P. and Manager of Bridge Bank’s Capital Finance Division, accepted the award on behalf of the bank. “Over the years we have partnered with Business Capital on numerous successful transactions and have developed a relationship based on trust, communication and respect. They differentiate themselves within the industry through their credit acumen, underwriting skills, straight talk and resourcefulness. They deliver results not excuses.”
