PODCAST HOST:
Jennifer Palmer, CEO, Gerber Finance
In episode 9 of our podcast, we talk to Melissa Martin, CEO and Founder of Wean Green, about her inspiring journey of launching a natural products company out of a passion. She talks about the bumps and accomplishments, building her dream team, alternative financing, and the trends she sees for the industry that she is so excited about! (And we are, too!)
In this episode, we have a fireside chat with Andrew Hollingsworth, Senior VP at Gerber Finance, CPA, and former CFO of Numi Tea. He talks about how a change in financing is worth the leap, and how the asset-based lending process allows for better overall financial health of your business.
In this episode, we sit down with Jan Hall, CEO of M2 Ingredients and OM Superfood Mushrooms, to discuss the current state of the natural products industry, why it’s such an awesome industry to be part of, five tips that new up-and-coming natural products companies should be mindful of, and what types of financing options are the most beneficial to businesses.
Not every company falls neatly into the “debt-versus-equity” box. In this episode, Gerber Finance’s CEO, Jennifer Palmer, talks to special guests, Paul Pruett, CEO of Designer Protein, Vern Christensen, Managing Director of PCG Investors and Chairman of Designer Protein, and Brent Knudsen, Founder & Managing Partner from PCG Investors, about their new partnership. Listen in to learn how private equity and debt financing can be the perfect mix to fund your business growth.
In this episode, Gerber Finance’s CEO, Jennifer Palmer, talks about all things asset-based lending. She explains exactly what it is, the main benefits to companies it best applies to, why “debt” really isn’t a scary word (and actually is cheaper in the long run), and why now – more than ever – asset-based lending is becoming a very popular method of financing.
The COVID-19 pandemic still leaves a lingering shadow over businesses of all kinds. Gerber Finance checked in with Jacen Dinoff, Principal, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of KCP Advisory Group for his insights on turnaround management for your business: When you need it, how it works, and how it can help your company start earning a profit again. He also shares tips on getting creative with business plans, what makes a great leader, and the value of asset-based lending for struggling businesses. Even if your company may not need it right now, it’s great to know your options!
