“Over the years that I have known and worked with the principals at J2 Partners, I have always found them to bring top tier private equity talent, sophistication, and insight to lower middle market companies. More importantly, they have consistently proven to be straight shooters, easy to work with both in negotiating and closing a transaction-- a critical quality for both a seller and an intermediary looking to close a transaction in these tumultuous times. Throughout the process, J2 focuses on strong personal relationships between company management and J2, which is a significant element to succeed in the middles market. Once the transaction is closed, J2 acts as a strong partner for management in only supporting their objectives, but also in bringing sophisticated, strategic ideas and direction to the company on a go forward basis. Anyone who deals with J2 can count on the firm’ s focus, integrity and commitment.”

“At a time of significant turmoil in the capital ,markets, when few deals were making it across the finish line, J2 Partners was able to maintain momentum and complete a very difficult transaction, delivering to our clients every aspect of the letter of intent. I would welcome the opportunity to do another deal with them.”

Norm Duffett, Managing Director, D.A. Davidson

“I knew that choosing a partner to acquire my business was particularly important because I was going to continue on as CEO and as a significant shareholder. J2 Partners has proven to be exceptional in every sense, as a counter-party negotiating the agreements, and at a strategic level as board members. I could not ask for better business partners.”
