Business Advising
AF Business Advising started in 2007; today, our team of 20-plus advisors have served more than one thousand clients across the US. Our advisors partner with you to provide guidance and real business solutions.
We will work with you from your starting point, whether you are a new business trying to manage growth or an experienced enterprise navigating challenging circumstances. Our goal is for Business Advising to help transform Anabaptist businesses into profitable, kingdom-focused organizations that demonstrate Jesus in the marketplace.
Why choose a Business Advisor?
Many problems can be avoided by preventative planning and wise guidance.
Initially, our Business Advising services were primarily remedial, focused on problem solving and management assistance for businesses in distress. While we continue this focus, there is a rising demand for preventative planning and organizational development, as well as succession planning services.

What does AF Business Advising Cost?
AF advisor fees are significantly less than most business advisors and counselors. We seek to offer real, measurable value to our Anabaptist people. Our goal is to assist clients in diagnosing problems, developing solutions, and helping with any needed implementation at a price they can afford and one that will reflect real value to the client.
However, since our primary goal is to help you, whenever the normal AF fee schedule creates a financial hardship for the client, the rate may be lowered at the discretion of the Advisor. Ask your Advisor or the advising Office for further details.
