Founded in 1970 by Gary D. Nelson, the company has evolved through multiple generations of leadership and brand transformation, most recently adopting the Nelson Connects name to reflect its people-first approach and collaborative culture. Today, the firm remains family-owned and led by an experienced management team with a deep understanding of the staffing industry and a commitment to innovation and client service.

With plans for new revenue streams in 2026, Nelson Connects is positioning itself for renewed growth and expanded service offerings. Supported by a seasoned leadership team and a strong reputation across California and beyond, the company continues to play a pivotal role in connecting talent with opportunity.

Access Capital provided a $15.4 million asset-based lending facility, including a $10 million revolving line of credit and a $5.4 million letter of credit, to refinance the company’s existing debt and strengthen working capital. The partnership provides liquidity to support Nelson Connects’ operational needs and fund future growth initiatives. Access Capital collaborated closely with Arch + Beam, whose advisory expertise was instrumental in guiding the company’s strategic planning for growth and positioning it for long-term success.

The Nelson Connects team is thrilled to partner with Access Capital. Their industry knowledge is second-to-none – so discussing the current state of the company and our vision for the future is a pleasure. The additional flexibility provided by the team at Access Capital will position the company for significant growth over the next five to ten years. Access Capital’s experience in our industry, family ownership, and entrepreneurial spirit is a perfect match for Nelson Connects. - Craig S. Nelson | Chairman and CEO
