JLM Financial Partners, based in Austin, TX, was founded in 2015 by Larry Meyer and Trey Owen. Their long-term friendship, common beliefs and shared values were pillars by which the company was founded. JLM thrives on a culture of personal relationships, performance-driven teamwork and innovation.

JLM Financials Partners is a by-product of JLM Financial Investments, founded in 1992, to invest in growth companies, develop commercial and residential real estate in times of US economic expansion and to acquire distressed assets during downturns. Over the years, the JLM team developed broad experience in franchising, health & wellness and operating businesses. We have additional experience in fee- simple real estate and distressed debt collateralized by hard assets including real estate and corporate jet aircraft.

JLM Financial Partners initial focus was on value-add, multi-unit franchise investments. Although still a primary tenet today, JLM has expanded to help other non-franchise businesses scale and grow here in the US and in Asia with extensive experience and expertise in China. JLM is focused on investments with strong management companies seeking a partner to help expand and increase their growth trajectories.
