JPalmer Collective (JPC), an asset-based lending company committed to funding high-growth, women-led and natural products companies, today announced a series of transactions raising $72 million in gross proceeds. The raise will accelerate JPC’s growth trajectory and fund new loans to JPC borrower clients.

When corporate profits are plummeting, people often say, “They’re having financial problems.” In reality, however, the numbers are the symptom and not the disease.
