Testimonials

“One cannot always schedule opportunities or problems. When we had an urgent need for capital, Fort Ashford’s response was timely and they were able to solve our problem.”

–Gordon McGilton, CEO (2005-2008), Force Protection, Inc.

“After Parkview Community Hospital’s bankruptcy plan was confirmed, we were having a very difficult time finding financing to restructure. All the companies we contacted said no to us and offered no assistance with other options. When we were put in touch with Fort Ashford, we were very pleased, as they came through quickly with just what was needed. They are a company does what it says it will do, does it when it says it will do it and follows through to provide help beyond what it committed to provide. We have developed a partnership with Fort Ashford through our relationship with them and are now well on our way to building a successful hospital.”

–Patricia Lepe, Chief Financial Officer, Parkview Community Hospital
