WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Comvest Credit Partners, a leading provider of flexible direct financing solutions to middle-market companies, is pleased to announce that it is acting as Administrative Agent and is the sole lender on a senior secured credit facility for Aspire General Holding Company (“Aspire” or “the Company”), a Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.-based non-standard automobile (“NSA”) insurance platform. The investment supports the refinancing of Aspire’s existing debt, provides a dividend payment to owners, and helps fund the Company’s growth capital needs.

Its core offerings include auto liability and physical damage coverage.

“Aspire has a solid track record of profitability and growth, supported by a strong and experienced leadership team. Its use of technology, including the Apex platform and AI-driven tools, reflects a modern approach to insurance operations we believe strongly positions the Company for continued and sustainable growth,” said Charlie Asfour, Partner at Comvest Credit Partners.

“We appreciate TAG Financial for introducing this opportunity and valued the chance to collaborate closely with the Aspire team to structure a responsive financing solution aligned with their strategic growth objectives,” added Jack Wyatt, a Principal at Comvest Credit Partners. “Aspire has demonstrated consistent success in a complex market, and we look forward to supporting the Company as it continues to scale.”
