"Several firms were looking to give us money, but the reason I decided to go with Banyan was the team. They brought experience and success, and they weren’t ‘vulture capitalists.’ They have the whole picture in mind. It’s not solely about the money; it’s about the employees and people.”

"Working with Banyan is one of the best decisions I have ever made. They provided financial stability, helped us diversify our offerings, and helped me understand sound business practices. We have grown from a small courier business to a full-fledged transportation and logistics company."

“While we manage the technical side, knowing there are smart people behind me running the business side takes a lot of stress out of my life. Our relationship with Banyan is great. We were lucky. Banyan has done a good job of listening to what we want to do and guiding our vision.”
