​The expanded team at SRM Services . . .

Due to the success of its private program education and information efforts, it became necessary for SRM's founder to begin focusing his efforts on launching and building a major international charitable foundation. To enable him to devote more and more time to this worthwhile effort, our founder reached out to two former business associates, John Rickman and Jim Lamontagne, and invited them to engage with SRM Services as managers of its financial education consultancy activities under a multi-year contract. SRM is pleased to announce that this alliance has lasted for 15 years and has significantly strengthened the overall effectiveness of SRM's information and education consultancy business. The hallmark of SRM's superb client service is based on absolute integrity, full disclosure, and dependable client communications provided by all members of the SRM team.

​The SRM Founder, the Small Capital Trade website ... and how we began

Picture
John Evans is the founder of the company. While only a small portion of his time is still spent assisting clients who wish to enter private programs, most of his efforts are currently focused on launching and building an international charitable foundation. The small capital trade website is the educational arm of SRM Services LTD, a provider of alternative, financial information domiciled in the State of South Dakota. Our primary mission is to make our financial research, information and other educational content regarding private programs available to parties who are interested in multiplying their available resources. This mission is carried out by SRM's state-side associates and consultants around the world. This website originated in 2011 and it is now the primary vehicle used for providing educational, research and consultancy services to rapidly growing international audience. Neither SRM Services nor any of its related personnel are brokers, dealers or investment advisers. This website functions strictly as an information-providing vehicle, does not provide any warranties or representations regarding any financial product, nor does it offer securities of any type to investors.


What's in it for us?

Through the use of our website and by personal consultations, as educational providers, we enjoy the simple satisfaction of helping our audience discover ways to enhance their respective financial situations through participation in private  programs that manage risk while at the same time providing outstanding yields. In addition, SRM Services and this informational web site were created to generate funding for our international charitable foundation from the net proceeds we realize from consultancy fees on private program transactions. It is our joy to contribute nearly all SRM profits ​to projects and initiatives that extend God's kingdom on earth by bringing hope and freedom to those in poverty, bondage, heartache and darkness. We will do this by sharing the good news of God's love, by providing relief for people ravaged by natural or man-made disasters, and by resourcing strategic economic and community development endeavors. For insight into the founder's perspective, click here.
