An interview with Jerry Jansen, Principal, Ares Commercial Finance

Published on Jun 24, 2016

Jerry Jansen, Principal of Ares Commercial Finance, examines today’s landscape for companies seeking financing through non-regulated lenders.

Jerry Jansen explains how the non-regulated lending industry evaluates a company’s portfolio of assets and determines whether or not a firm has enough liquidity to secure financing.
