Why Azalea?

"We began our partnership with Azalea in 2003. Azalea allowed our management team to operate day-to-day, but brought resources and opportunities to us, which allowed us to grow faster and farther than we could have on our own. Most importantly, they did what they said they would do and we trust them as a valued partner."

"We had a prosperous and mutually beneficial relationship with Azalea prior to selling the business. I spent 25 years building this business and when I decided to bring in a partner to meet my personal financial objectives, Azalea's track record, references, and integrity were important factors in my decision process. Most importantly, the chemistry was a fit and with Azalea's assistance, we made unprecedented strides in the growth and success of our company. Our company is better off today because of our association with Azalea."

“Though I was not an investor in Fund I, I was a board member for Power Equipment Maintenance, Inc., a Fund I portfolio company. However, after seeing first hand the great care Azalea principals took in investing capital, I am now an investor in Fund II and will be an investor in Fund III. These guys are genuine, professional and fair – people you can trust.”

Victor Barnhart, former CEO
Chem-Nuclear Systems Inc., and The Brand Companies, Inc.



“Azalea Capital is a group you can trust. They are very fair and very focused on performance. I would highly recommend them to any growing company, as they provide the resources to grow, along with the strategic direction to best use those resources. They are a true business partner in each sense of the word.”
