After the first basic training that he had received from his father, Jenisch came to live with his relative Eleazar Jenisch in Hamburg as early as 1598. Jenisch received extensive commercial training from him, a business partner of his father's.

When Jenisch was granted citizenship of the city of Hamburg in 1618 , he and his relatives founded the company Paulus Pütz & Zimbrecht Jenisch , which was soon able to achieve great success in import-export trade between the White Sea and the Mediterranean . In 1618 Jenisch married Maria Elisabeth Putz from Stade for the first time.
