JK CAPITAL GETS MAJOR INVESTMENT FROM GERMAN BANK
Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank AG Provides $20 Million For Leasing
Jonesboro, Arkansas – January 2006 – John Deacon, Executive Director of JK Capital, announces a $20 million investment from German bank Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank AG that will go towards future product leases of new Ergoline, Soltron and Wellsystem equipment within the United States. After months of structuring to accommodate the unique leasing model of JK Capital, representatives of the German bank met Mr. Deacon at the ITA trade show in Nashville, TN followed by a tour of the JK Products & Services, Inc. facility in Jonesboro, AR. Final approval of the expenditure followed quickly thereafter.
This infusion of additional resources is expected to increase leasing revenues into JK Capital by 300% over five years. Benefiting salon owners, it provides the opportunity for them to upgrade equipment or start new salon ventures. This, in turn, increases equipment sales to the affiliated JK North America companies and helps expand the overall market.
“The commitment of $20 million by Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank AG validates both the leasing model that JK Capital has implemented since 2002 and the worldwide leadership position of the JK affiliated companies,” said John Deacon, Executive Director of JK Capital. “The industry position of the Ergoline and Soltron brands ‘sealed the deal’ when the bank studied market share, brand quality, customer retention and residual values. By combining these product and brand strengths, with the portfolio performance of JK Capital, it was a winning combination. The result of this venture will enable JK Capital to provide additional financing options for equipment acquisitions for salon owners throughout the country.”
