What Our Portfolio Companies Say

We have had considerable growth over the last two years and Jefferson Capital Partners was the perfect partner to help fuel our growth immediately and into the future. JCP shares our home base of New Orleans, which is particularly important to me. We are very proud and excited to have this partnership in place and adding a little spice to the life of many more customers in the future.”
Chris White
President/CEO
Louisiana Pepper Exchange, LLC
As we operate in a largely underserved market, we are very grateful for Jefferson Capital's support. JCP came in to help at the right time, in the right way. Their support was instrumental in many ways to help CSA move forward. We look forward to capitalizing on this momentum and the bright future that lies ahead.
