Preserving What You’ve Built.
Transitioning with Integrity
When you built your business, you poured your heart, time, and energy into creating value. Now, as you contemplate stepping away, what matters most isn’t just liquidity — it’s knowing the next chapter honors your people, your customers, your mission.
I’m Jed Sturman. After years of running and scaling small businesses, I’ve seen firsthand what works — and what can disrupt. Today, I partner with owners seeking a thoughtful exit, bringing fresh energy, capital, and care to continue a business’s trajectory.
What I Seek
Businesses with $500K to $2.0M normalized EBITDA and margins >15%
Recurring or sustainable revenue models
Industries like B2B services, home services, value-added distribution, e-commerce, light manufacturing, and industrial services
Located in Vermont or New Hampshire (but open to strong regional fits)
I am not looking for pure retail, hospitality, or restaurants, pure retail, or companies with heavy CapEx requirements.
Why This Matters
Because selling a business isn’t an endpoint — it’s the start of a new chapter. I’m here to ensure your team, your clients, and your reputation move forward unbroken.
What to Expect
Transparent communication and respect at every step
A transition plan tied to your values, not just numbers
Growth-focused leadership that builds on your foundation
If you’re thinking about succession, leaving a legacy, or simply exploring options — let’s talk. I’d be honored to hear your story.
