Testimonials
What Client Say ?
When our key vendor got acquired by a big boy it was the beginning of the end for AMG Bolting Solutions. Rohena’s found hidden value in our customer database.
I was a customer of Monkeyhouse. I called to tell him the doors of our business was closing. In leiu of our balance, Rohena’s turned our restuarant supply company into a niche restuarant equipment e-commerce that pays a royalty on items sold. Genius.
Instead of debt and 80 hours weeks, I got my freedom back. And, despite changing the business name, it is so good to see the business succeeding years later.
