Orlando, FL – August 20, 2008– In a slow economy one Florida business, American Home Companions, has earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for 2008. Inc. 5000’s list is comprised of the fastest growing private companies in America ranked by percentage of revenue growth between 2004 through 2007.

“The Inc. 5000 recognition is a significant milestone in the history of American Home Companions. We want our clients and their families to be comfortable that they are entrusting their care to a company that is recognized as a leader in the elder care industry. Through a singular focus on the needs of our clients we continue to expand and allow non- medical in-home care to be available to more senior citizens throughout Florida,” states Jim Mark, owner of American Home Companions, Inc. According to Inc. Magazine, American Home Companions has experienced a 45% growth in revenue by offering a guarantee of compatibility to ensure the best caregiver to client match.

"Jim Mark's determination to make American Home Companions a success led him to the Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida's Advisory Board Council program. He became a client of the program in 2003 benefiting from two custom advisory boards which were instrumental in positioning his company for growth,” explains Jill Kaufman, Program Manager/Assistant Director SBDC Advisory Board Council. “The SBDC at UCF is very proud of American Home Companions' strong record of growth and pleased to honor the firm as an Advisory Board Council success story on the occasion of their inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list," adds Ms. Kaufman.
