Testimonials
My experience with American Fortune was very positive. I was very impressed with their process and approach in the preparation and valuation of my business. I found them to be very trustworthy and helpful. Like many business owners I undermined what goes into preparing the business for sale and the process and amount of work that goes into successfully selling a business. Their valuation services helped me better position my business for sale and as a result I was able to get a higher selling price and more favorable terms.

Compared to other Business Valuation firms, American Fortune is the absolute best. Extremely knowledgeable, detail orientated, and tenaciously work to create a very accurate and defensible business valuation report. More importantly, honesty and integrity are their best qualities especially in a field where these traits are sometimes missing.
