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.
