Hi, I’m Janna North.
I’ve spent more than 20 years in the machine tool industry, working alongside the people who keep shops running—owners, operators, and decision-makers who have to balance production demands with sound financial decisions. She understands that when a shop needs a new piece of equipment, timing matters—and the financing has to make sense for cash flow, margins, and growth.
As the founder of North Star Financial, I built my company to be the partner I wished more shop owners had: responsive, straightforward, and deeply familiar with the realities of manufacturing. I take a consultative approach—listening first, then matching each customer with the right equipment loan or lease structure so they can move quickly, protect working capital, and keep their business moving forward.
Whether you’re upgrading capacity, replacing aging equipment, or taking on new work, my goal is simple: help you finance confidently, with terms that fit your shop and support the next phase of your growth.
