I've been an entrepreneur for most of my life and have spent more than 35 years in the insurance and financing industries. In 2014, after a successful 30-year career in health insurance, I made the decision to dedicate my professional life entirely to commercial financing and helping business owners achieve their goals.
During my years in the insurance industry, I had the privilege of leading a sales organization of approximately 1,000 representatives across 14 Northwestern states. That experience taught me invaluable lessons about leadership, building successful businesses, and, perhaps most importantly, the value of relationships and earning people's trust.
Having spent decades building and managing businesses myself, I understand both the opportunities and challenges that come with being an entrepreneur. I also understand how frustrating it can be for business owners to navigate the financing process, particularly when traditional banks aren't able to meet their needs.
That's why I founded Joslen Commercial Funding.
My goal was simple: to help small and growing businesses obtain the financing they need without the unnecessary confusion, delays, and frustrations that too often accompany the lending process.
Today, Joslen Commercial Funding works with a nationwide network of lenders, specializing in financing for heavy equipment, commercial trucks, logging equipment, and a wide variety of other business equipment and financing needs.
As a member of the American Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (AACFB), I believe that staying knowledgeable about the ever-changing lending industry is essential. But knowledge alone isn't what makes a financing relationship successful.
I have always believed that success comes from a few simple principles:
- Genuinely care about helping clients start, grow, and succeed in their businesses.
- Take the time to explain the financing process and educate clients about their options.
- Be accessible, responsive, and personally involved throughout the process.
- Above all, conduct every transaction with unquestionable integrity.
I believe that a successful business is built on trust, relationships, and a reputation earned one client at a time. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping someone obtain the equipment or capital they need to move their business forward.
I invite you to read our client testimonials. They mean more to me than any advertisement ever could.
I consider it a compliment whenever someone places their trust in me to help finance their business. I look forward to the opportunity to earn yours.
To your business success,
