Preserving What You’ve Built.
Transitioning with Integrity

Attributed to https://matadornetwork.com/read/new-hampshire-hiking-vs-colorado/

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.
