Problems We Solve and
The Expert Team That Guides You
At Fortress Business Advisory we offer a comprehensive analysis of your ENTIRE business not just a specialty. We help business owners that are too busy working in the day-to-day instead of working on their business. We work together on knowing your business worth, growing your cash flow, building business attractiveness and coaching you through ultimately exiting your business when you have reached your freedom point.
- Achieve a highly decentralized business where you have decisions that flow through you and are not relied upon by you.
- Build a profitable, attractive business that is highly sellable, prepared for contingencies and attractive to buyers.
- Focusing on business growth, the owner can choose when and if they want to sell.
- Review and plan for all areas of Risk Mitigation that impact the current and future financial position for the owner personally and the business.
We use many proven strategies and systems to address multiple areas of focus with one team! Initially, we will evaluate all areas of your business with our complimentary discovery process. The details about you and your business allow us to create highly effective customizable solutions.

There are several complimentary components offered for us to get started with all of our clients. Our Business Analyst will start with a discovery process that allows us to get a preliminary picture of your business and its needs. Depending on the size and complexity of your business, there are several options for us to provide high-quality affordable services to ensure you receive the best possible value for your investment. Give us a call to find out what it can look like for you!
Talk to our friendly professionals! We start with a quick 15 min call to see if we are a good fit. We talk about your business, what you are looking to accomplish, areas of contention you would like help with, and answering any questions or concerns you may have to create solutions. There is no obligation, no cost and no pressure. Once we have determined we can help, our next steps are to dive a little deeper into your business specifics. This process is also complimentary as we provide a proposed plan and look for savings before you spend a dime! Schedule a Call.
Many owners who come to us are stuck, burned out, and have a lot of questions. They find themselves learning that their Greatest Strength Becomes a Debilitating Weakness.
Why would you wait to start making the business better? Reaching out is not you saying you want to sell your business now, it’s you saying you want your business to have maximum value, so you can be ready to sell either today or when you are ready.
