About Keith Kohler

Now, more than ever, having a solid handle on your business’s financial foothold, opportunity for growth, and ability to remain stable is everything. You need strategic analysis, critical decision-making tools and insights, and an advocate who can help guide you through the complexities of both financing and the finance function in your business without making it all feel complicated. That’s what I bring to the table. I draw not only from financial and deal-making expertise but on a wide spectrum of operational roles across multiple industries from food and beverage and CPG, to entertainment, technology, media, and manufacturing. During my years of working with hundreds of clients, I’ve found that business leaders typically fall into three critical arenas: 1. They don’t currently have a full scope of their financing options available to them right now to save money or to accelerate growth. They are in a crunch-time situation with tremendous cash needs and require fast and accurate financing strategies and solutions. They don’t have (a CFO or advisor) who can expertly guide them with a clear path for navigating their company’s immediate and ongoing financial needs to reach their ultimate professional and personal goals. Whichever categories you may fall into, the time to create a clear and concise plan for your business is right now. Once I determine your eligibility and your readiness, I can get you the right financing you need. I can save you money and empower you to act upon both immediate and future opportunities for business growth. I can solve financial issues and provide a viable plan to move forward. Most importantly, I will be the trusted advocate, support system, analyst, solution finder, fighter, and closer you need to take your company wherever you want to go. Contact me today at K••••@K2Financing.com to assess what is most important for you both short-term and long-term and let me show you what’s possible. I get deals done and I help companies grow.

   I get deals done and I help companies grow. I get companies the right financing at the right time.In every engagement/relationship my goal is to make a significant impact on your business via obtaining financing and/or by providing strategic advisory services. I fully draw upon my talents and abilities cultivated and refined not just in finance but also in operational roles across a wide variety of industries from consumer products to education to consulting to entertainment to technology to online media to food manufacturing.Coming out of Wharton, early in my career I worked in multiple Fortune 500 companies that helped me develop a solid analytical toolkit and a commitment to fact and numbers-based decision-making.Yet my greatest lessons have been learned and all my “street cred” has been earned through multiple successes and failures in my post-corporate life. In the last 15 years, I have founded, invested in, and sold two small businesses while also financing, advising, and educating hundreds of entrepreneurs and business owners.I’m your analyst, your advocate, your supporter, your fighter, your networker, and your closer.I’ve personally lived many of the same accomplishments and challenges that you have as a business owner, and that – combined with my deal-making, advisory capabilities, and record of achievement — is what makes me best qualified to do this work and deliver game-changing results for you.Let’s work together.Notable Accomplishments- Principal of Nutrition Capital Network Featured Speaker on Debt Financing Options for natural product/CPG companies at Bob Burke / Mike Burgmaier twice yearly seminars - Judge for Wharton Business Plan Competition- Mastermind Advisor for Babson WIN Lab Program (Women\'s Entrepreneurship)
