For owners

I'm thinking about selling

Find out what your business is worth and what the path to a sale looks like, with no obligation.

How selling works
For growing owners

I'm looking to expand

Add a location, enter a new market or absorb a competitor. I'll bring you opportunities that actually fit.

How expansion works
Selling your business

You built it over years. The sale deserves the same care.

Most owners only sell once. I guide you through every step so you know what your business is worth, who is buying, and what happens next.

01

Confidential valuation

We review your financials together, including owner add-backs, and land on a realistic range buyers will support.

02

Preparation

A professional marketing package that presents your business at its best, without revealing who you are.

03

Qualified buyers

Your business is presented to vetted buyers. Details are shared only after an NDA is signed.

04

Negotiation to closing

I handle offers, terms and due diligence with you, and stay with the deal through closing day.

Growing through acquisition

The fastest way to grow is often to buy what's already working.

Acquiring an established business gives you customers, staff and cash flow from day one. Whether it's a second location, a new territory or a competitor down the road, I help you find the right fit.

Tell me how you want to grow

Why work with me

Personal attention, backed by a national network.

Confidential by default

Your staff, customers and competitors don't find out. Buyers sign an NDA before they see anything that identifies you.

50,000+ buyers

As a broker with Hedgestone Business Advisors, your business reaches a network of more than 50,000 buyers.

Numbers, not guesses

Valuations come from your actual returns and P&Ls, so the price holds up when buyers look closely.

About

Mark Cassidy

I'm a business broker with Hedgestone Business Advisors. I work with owners of established, main street businesses who are thinking about what's next, and with owners who want to grow by acquiring another business.

My approach is simple: be straight about the numbers, protect your confidentiality, and stay with you from the first conversation to the closing table.

“The right deal is the one that works for both sides. My job is to find it and get it done.”
Questions

Common questions

Don't see yours? Call me at (631) 623-9009.

What does a valuation cost?

Nothing. The valuation is free and confidential, and it doesn't commit you to selling.

Will my employees find out I'm selling?

No. Your business is marketed without your name or location, and buyers sign an NDA before receiving identifying details.

What do I need for a valuation?

Usually your last three years of tax returns or P&Ls, a current year-to-date P&L, what you pay yourself, and a list of major equipment. Inventory at cost if you carry stock.

How long does it take to sell a business?

It varies by industry, size and price, but many sales take several months from listing to closing. We'll talk about realistic timing during your valuation.

I want to grow. Why buy instead of opening a new location?

An established business comes with customers, trained staff and proven cash flow, so you skip the slow and risky start-up years. We'll look at whether buying makes sense for your plans.
