JLJ Capital
JLJ was founded on the simple principles of speed, flexibility, and reliability. We recognized that the current environment has left a huge gap for business owners when they are first acquiring or re-positioning assets. This is the point at which they are in the most need of a visionary banker. Unfortunately due to the current regulatory environment they have few options. As a result capital is difficult to come by and often they are forced to give up a large part of the upside to investors. At JLJ Capital we spend the time to understand the needs of our customers. If we don’t already know our customer the first step of the process is to meet them and understand what they are planing both now and in the future. Then we discuss solutions and come up with a unique and personalized financial product that will meet their needs. Once we receive the requested documentation and clarification we give them a proposal. This process takes 24-48 hours. During the total process we take the time to consult with business professionals that have the expertise to ensure our partners success. Finally we were founded on the principle of doing what you say and saying what you mean.
