"Nature's Best is a $240 million dollar distributor
of health food and related products selling to 3,000
retailers in the western U.S., from retail health
food stores to mass market, hospitals and

The leasing business can be very difficult to navigate with
some leasing firms being less-than-honorable. We look to
VISION CAPITAL to provide financing of our capital equipment

deliver on what they promise - that's important in our

Over the years, Larry has helped us get the capital we
needed to grow. From equipment financing to primary lending
relationships, VISION CAPITAL has been there. The team is
resourceful, operates with integrity and has worked hand in

"CARE Ambulance Service provides services to private
citizens, health care facilities and public safety agencies.
Through these partnerships, the company has become an
integral part of the communities it serves, in Orange and
Los Angeles counties, offering 24 hour/7 days a week service
to both emergency and non-emergency calls. CARE has grown
from a small company to owning a fleet of more than 69
vehicles providing basic and advanced life support
transportation. Our relationship with VISION CAPITAL dates back seven years.
In that period of time, CARE Ambulance has grown, as has
VISION CAPITAL. We have enjoyed working with Larry Turner
and have found him to be upfront and honest - and that’s
important in this business. He also understands our market
and delivers on what he says. This is a business
relationship with which I am very comfortable and a win:win
relationship."

Digital and Radiologic Imaging Associates, Inc., has been providing
Mission Regional Medical Center and greater southern Orange County with
diagnostic radiology services for over 30 years.
"The Diagnostic Imaging business has evolved to a very high tech, capital
intense industry with the advent of modalities like CT Scanning,
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Positron Emission Tomography to name a
few. These technologies have price tags in the millions, and as a
result, radiology groups are approached by many vendors who want to
build "relationships." Most of the time this means they want to sell a
product or service. Occasionally, the desire to build a relationship is
even stronger than the desire to win the business.
Our experience with VISION CAPITAL and Manny Montanez has been one of
those occasions where our companies have built a strong
relationship. VISION CAPITAL stands for credibility, integrity, and
personalized service.
In our most recent project, Manny was instrumental in gathering all of
the information that was needed to get the financing approved. There was
a minimum of paperwork, the rates were competitive, and we TRUST the
people we worked with.
Right now, Digital and Radiologic Imaging Associates is in a growth
mode, and we look forward to working with VISION CAPITAL on all of our
new projects. "
