HELLO 2020!... and a look back at 2019
January 2020
It is an exciting time with a new year upon us. Traditionally it is also a time when business and personal goals along with resolutions are made. It should also a time of reflection and thanks as well. Every year I dedicate the January edition of my newsletter to profile a few of the customers Joslen Commercial Funding was able to help in 2019. I reserve these profiles for first-time customers of JCF. Earlier this year this newsletter talked about how over 60% of JCF business YTD was REPEAT business. That number held constant for the year as well. THANK YOU to all you who have allowed me to work for your financing needs on multiple deals over the years.

Just for Laughs!
A man walks into a bar and it’s empty – it’s just him and the bartender. He sits down and orders a drink.
He hears someone whisper, “Pssst…I like your tie.” The man looks around but doesn’t see anyone.
“Pssst…that color looks nice on you.”
He asks the bartender, “Excuse me, but…are you speaking to me?”
The bartender rolls his eyes and says, “No, sorry about that. It’s the peanuts… they’re complimentary.”
