Kaplan understands the “flow” in cash flow. Many professionals
understand the nuts and bolts of financing. With a Master’s Degree in
Finance, Ken Kaplan understands the basics too. But Ken’s understanding
of alternative financing goes deeper. Through his skill, expertise, and
intuition, Ken is able to devise a strategy for companies seeking
financing, create a professional loan package, target the lenders most
likely to complete the transaction, and act as his client’s advocate
throughout the lending process. “Cash flow is a topic of interest to every business owner in the country. Very few, however, have any real expertise with alternative financial products or know where to go to get funded when the local bank says “no” to a funding request,” says Ken. A leading expert in the area of specialized financial structures, Ken has developed a process of quickly evaluating the financial status of any company and then creating alternative financing options for his clients. He has demonstrated a unique ability to assist companies experiencing even severe cash flow problems.
Prior to joining US Business Finance, Ken was the president of Vector Financial Systems, a financial consulting company specializing in small and middle market financing solutions. He also serves as the “debt placement specialist” for Wildwood Capital, a New York Investment Banking firm, identifying opportunities to utilize asset based lending and other financial instruments as part of a comprehensive capital structure analysis.
He has helped to secure tens of millions of dollars for businesses using debt and equity transactions. His own business grew to more than 80 employees and had $18 million in sales.
In addition to public speaking, Ken has published several articles and special reports on financing. His special report, “Smart Financing Alternatives For Manufacturers” has been read by thousands of business owners looking for alternative financing. Ken is also working on his first book, “Get Your Business Financed: Putting the ‘Flow” into Cash Flow.”
