Shareholder – Limestone Loan Capital Corporation

https://www.limestoneloancapital.com/ 

Limestone Loan Capital (“LLCC”) was founded by a group of capital markets professionals who understand the need to support alternative lending in Canada. LLCC is in the business of helping Canadian alternative lenders access capital to grow portfolios of consumer loans.

LLCC is working with Rethink and Diversify Securities Inc., an Exempt Market dealer to raise funds via an Offering Memorandum. The funds raised will be RRSP and TFSA eligible and offer an attractive yield to investors. For more information about the investment opportunity and risk factors, please contact Jason Park at Rethink and Diversify at jpark@rethinkdiversify.comor 306-717-1990.

SkyCap Financial (SCF) (www.skycapfinancial.com) is a socially responsible alternative lender focusing on providing unsecured personal loans to credit challenged clients who are unable to get financing through a bank. LLCC has entered into a strategic partnership with SCF where LLCC will be lending the proceeds of the funds raised through the Offering Memorandum to SCF so they can lend unsecured personal loans to its client base. 

SCF’s commitment to fiscal literacy and responsible lending have been cornerstones of the company’s mandate. SCF has developed SkyCap University (www.skycapuniversity.com) a free financial literacy course for clients to take that teaches the basics about budgeting, credit, debt, savings, life events, home ownership and retirement. The clients benefit in not only getting educated about fiscal literacy but also an interest rate reduction on their loan upon completion of the course.

LLCC is proud to be working and providing capital to SCF to help accelerate growth. SCF’s track record since being founded in 2013, their leadership, risk management, and social focus on fiscal literacy make them a fantastic partner.

MYNTIX™ is a mobile learning platform that revitalizes organizational training through the delivery of scheduled short bursts of learning content straight to your phone via text or email. MYNTIX™ brings training to employees in a way that integrates learning into their daily work lives, allowing them to effectively practice their new skills on the job.  The Problem with Traditional Corporate Training How many times have you heard any of the following comments about training in your organization? “I don’t have time for training” “We need better training” “We need more training” “Training is a waste of time” “Ugh, I’ve got to go to training today” “Why aren’t you doing this properly, you were trained several times on it”?

The problem is that traditional training is inefficient, expensive in terms of cost for training and in potential lost revenue while employees are in a training session. AND it doesn’t result in any meaningful retention or skill development. It’s a broken model.

What do these statistics mean to your business? Chance are, the majority of your employees don’t feel they have the expertise to do the core duties of their job, they’ve forgotten more content than they remembered by the time they walk out the training room door, and what they do remember, they aren’t likely to apply once they’re back at work. Organizations are wasting a tremendous amount of time and money for a dismal return on investment. But, you can change that!

Created with the end user in mind, the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform allows you to create and send short, customized training  content to learners via text or email on an automated schedule, ensuring opportunities for continuous improvement.  Features of the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform We all have employees who embrace training, who love to learn and will seek it out at every chance they get. But let’s face it, the statistics show that this isn’t the reality for most of our employees. For the rest of us, removing barriers is as important as providing opportunities. With MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning, we developed a product that is aimed at that person who walks in the training room door at the last possible minute, with their arms crossed and eyes rolling. If we can get that person engaged, we’ll be able to engage all learners.

We blend solid learning theory with the practical realities of work life in today’s organizations, appealing to the needs of employees, managers, and administrators of the platform.
Automated Content Delivery Course content can be dripped to the learner through the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform. Administrators can set the delivery schedule when the course is created and the system automatically sends text or email messages to the learner, saving time and effort for both the administrator and the learner.

Branding Options Subscription pricing for the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform allows for organizations to keep the MYNTIX™ branding or adopt the organization's branding, including company logo and colours. Full white labelling options are also available.

Leaderboard and Gamification Encouraging friendly competition, the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform provides leaderboards that display employee progress. Questions and answers can be awarded points and total point earners can be displayed. Alternatively, administrator can choose to time module completion and the leaderboard can display a total score based on fastest time of completion and most points earned, testing accuracy and speed of memory.

Administer the Platform from Anywhere Away from the office and need to add a learner to the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform? Need to enrol a learner in a course? All administration functions can be done on a cell phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Full flexibility.

Learner Profiles Learners can upload their own profile picture to the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform. The picture appears on the leaderboard and in the learner table for ease of recognition and personalization.

Messaging and Chat Functions Administrators and managers can send text or email messages to individual learners from within the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform or utilize the in-platform chat function.

Manage Learners Administrators and Managers of the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform have access to their learners' profiles. They can easily enrol learners in courses, view progress, results, see time spent in the system and many other functions.

Variety of Course Settings When creating courses in the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform, administrators can customize a variety of options, including when content is to be released, who can view and/or enrol in the course. Several customizable options are available at the module level as well.
Easy to use, Modular Authoring Tool The MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform allows authors to break content into small, bite-sized modules. Modules are created using a variety of tools that can be moved within the module, saved to a toolkit for later use, and easily edited or removed without interfering with the rest of the module or course.

Preview Content as you Build As you create content on the MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning Platform, you can choose to view a preview of the content so you can see how it will look to the learner. You can also adjust margins and padding to ensure the content looks as you intended.

Variety of Reporting Options The MYNTIX™ Mobile Learning platform provides a variety of reporting at the administrator, manager, and learner levels. Reports are available for the organization as a whole, the individual course, and the individual learner. Track your employees' progress, completions, and usage of the system.

MYNTIX™ Clients Our clients tend to be small to medium sized businesses that are looking to find more efficient ways to train their employees. With the retirement of key individuals, they’re seeing vast amounts of organizational knowledge leave with them. This transition brings with it a need to formalize their training initiatives to capture and retain their knowledge base. They also have a need to train new employees quickly, efficiently, and affordably.

Due to the size of our client organizations, it’s difficult to afford to bring in external training or to send employees out for training because they can’t replace the employee while they’re away. Because of the nature of their work, traditional e-learning programs are difficult to implement because employees don’t have access to a computer, work away from an office, or find sitting at a computer for hours boring and ineffective.

Clients may have employees who work at multiple locations and have difficulty training employees in a timely manner across all locations. They may also be scaling quickly and need to effectively train their new recruits when there aren’t a lot of resources available to do it.
