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. Businesses facing tough situations have the greatest likelihood of securing financial options if they fulfill these important requirements: hire a turnaround consultant, get appraisal valuations for the company or assets and have enough liquidity to lead a turnaround.
