"I am pleased to provide this recommendation for Affinity Ventures and for Bruce Burns. I have worked with Affinity on two separate acquisitions. I had worked with another broker prior to becoming familiar with Affinity and have been impressed by Affinity's willingness to meet my needs. They are persistent, available when I've needed input or help and responded in a timely manner. They provide an excellent knowledge base of the market industry and communicate information that is helpful in making decisions. They are willing and have the ability to provide a creative approach to structuring the deal in order to get the process done. Again, I have found Affinity Ventures and Bruce Burns to be a very professional and capable brokerage firm to work with. Should you need additional information, do not hesitate to contact me."  James C. Rogers, CEO

"I would highly recommend Affinity Ventures for anyone seeking divestiture of their business. Their experience and professionalism is an asset during the complete process. They have the ability to bring more than one suitor to the table in a controlled auction with absolute confidentiality which will only enhance the value of the deal. Multiple offers, exceeded the price of their valuation and what I expected, and were available 24/7 describes Affinity Ventures. When one makes a decision to sell, you want the Affinity team as your advisor and by your side on each step of the process." Ken Baker, President

"I would be glad to talk to anyone about my experiences with Affinity Ventures. They told us what we needed to do and how to do it, then took over from there. Dan and Bruce helped prepare the business for sale, found a buyer who paid a premium price at time when other brokers said there were no buyers. They were involved from the very beginning to post closing issues with Medicare. They have the complete package. Knowledge, experience, contacts, ability to keep the process going and most importantly getting the business sold at a price above what I expected. If I would have waited another 3 months, I would still own the business and probably never be able to sell it in this unsettled and challenging market place that is controlled by Medicare. I sold my pharmacy on my own prior to meeting the team at Affinity Ventures and now know the importance of having professionals represent me in a very complicated and challenging process of divesting a business." Jerry Ritt, President

"The cash is in the bank and I will never "have" to work if I don’t want to.  I want to thank you and the Affinity Team for the fantastic support you have given me and Cambridge Home Healthcare. You have been persistent, focused, tenacious and always available during the complete process. You enabled me to continue to run my business with no disruptions or confidentiality issues. Selling a business is a once in a lifetime project and now realize the importance of an intermediary like Affinity Ventures. Your suggestion of being flexible and open regarding a buyer and looking at all potential offers from both strategic and financial buyers was right on. The decision of choosing a private equity firm to partner with was an easy one. I got the cash, eliminated the financial and daily pressures I previously had, and continued to run the company and be a shareholder. It was the perfect situation. Your ability to manage the process, negotiate all issues with a win-win approach but to our advantage , and always maximize the outcome for myself and Cambridge Home Healthcare was very much appreciated. Affinity Ventures exceeded my expectations, both financially and professionally. Now I can relax, have fun running the business, spend more time with my family and hobbies, and not have to worry about reimbursement reductions, union threats, and any other business concerns we all have as independent business owners." Nancy Diller Shively, President

"I have used Affinity Ventures on a number of acquisitions.  They have consistently pleased me with their service, dependability and integrity, with the outcome always exceeding my expectations.  Their effectiveness and skill in negotiating is reflective in their history of successful transactions."  Cleveland (Skip) West, President

"I would definitely endorse Affinity Ventures to sell your business.  I was very impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail and follow-up.  Selling a business is a very complex process.  Having Affinity Ventures' experienced professionals handle the process allowed me to focus on running my business."  John Dodd, President

"Affinity Ventures represented my company when I sold it to one of the nationals.  There was complete confidentiality throughout the process.  I was pleased with the fact that from the start to finish, they stayed in close contact, helping in every aspect of the transaction and closed in record time.  If I had it to do over again, I would use Affinity Ventures in any transaction I am involved with." Cornell Osborne, President

"Thank you for your assistance in divesting Professional Respiratory Services, Inc. When we started the process, I was not aware of the complexity of selling a business the right way. We were able to get a premium price, majority cash at closing, and were able to run my business during the process. Your knowledge with buying and selling businesses was obvious with the way you controlled the process and was able to negotiate with several buyers. Your timing and advice about selling were excellent, as I feel that we were at the apex of our growth curve with all the potential reductions in reimbursement looming ahead. Your persistence and tenacity paid off in the end for all of our shareholders. If we are involved in selling a business in the future, we will definitely be giving you a call."  Michael Callaghan, President
