What Our Customers Say
Hear from satisfied clients who trusted me with their business success:
Claus Erik Madsen was instrumental in the successful transaction of one of the businesses A Neumann represented. His expertise in business brokerage was evident as he not only guided us through the core transaction processes but also provided critical support in areas that extended
beyond his immediate role. For instance, Claus connected us with the right financing partners and proactively coordinated with insurance vendors, providing them with necessary information in advance to help streamline the setup of our business insurance. His actions demonstrated a
commitment to ensuring all facets of the transaction were well-managed. For those seeking a business broker who offers comprehensive support and clear communication, we highly recommend Claus.
Vivek Rohra April 2024
Claus out of Florida helped us with the sale of our business. We had never done anything like this and him and his team walked us through the process from start to finish. We had some challenges through the process and Claus continued to show up even in the difficult conversations.
Colby Harris, Co-Owner
Claus Madsen thoroughly helped us with selling our company. From the 1st introductory meeting explaining to us what was possible, to providing us with resources to assist with the sale. Claus was invaluable throughout the whole sales process. Claus was with us every step of the journey and
always made himself available for any questions or issues that came up along the way. If you are interested in selling your business, I encourage you to reach out to Claus and the ANA team so that they can let you know what’s achievable. These guys will make it happen!

When Claus was Vice President of Elsafe, he proved to be an extremely imaginative, focused and enjoyable marketing professional. As a marketing communications specialist, I was brought in to help build up Elsafe’s marcom efforts. Claus was quick to introduce and embrace new ideas, adding
fresh approaches that improved the quality and effectiveness of our marketing concepts. Always focused and clear about what he wanted, Claus also brought a sense of fun to the team.
