Bridging the Gap
Between Buyers & Sellers

I was introduced to Stoneridge Partners a few years back, in that time period we touched base off and on about the industry and at no time was I ever pressured to sell when I was not ready to part with my baby. I had some challenges a few years after we met and was ready to give up; Stoneridge Partners advised me to hold on because the hospice market was not right at the time. I am so thankful that I listened. On one occasion I backed out of a deal that was to close, Stoneridge Partners was so professional and respected my need to be 100% sure of my decision. They were more than my brokers, they were also my “shrinks” through the ups and down of the whole process. Thank you so much for your professionalism and just being there through my difficult days. I sincerely appreciate the team at Stoneridge Partners more than you can imagine.

We worked with Stoneridge Partners in 2022 when we sold our California private pay home care agency. I have a lot of M&A experience myself and hesitated to sign up with Stoneridge, primarily because I thought I could do it myself and save the broker fee. However, I am very pleased to have chosen Stoneridge Partners. Reasons include:

1) They brought buyers to the process that we would otherwise not have found, and

2) The involvement of a firm like Stoneridge gave us “leverage” with the buyer that we otherwise wouldn’t have had. That is, buyers are less likely to behave in bad faith for fear of alienating a deal source like Stoneridge- and “bad faith” can happen before, during, or after a deal closes.

Things worked out well for us, and we would recommend Stoneridge Partners without hesitation.

We want to thank your team for the professional manner in which Stoneridge Partners handled the negotiations and subsequent sale. Since this was a once in a lifetime event, we wanted to make sure we did not make a major error. Their experience and guidance throughout the process was invaluable and gave us that reassurance. Their reasonable approach to dealing with problems had a calming effect esp. as the situation became a little hectic as closing approached. I also appreciated their willingness to advocate my position with the buyer when I felt strongly about an issue. I learned that completing a transaction of this scope is time consuming and complicated, and having Stoneridge Partners to guide us was the only way we could have completed the sale in such a short time frame.

Healthcare is a small world…and should I ever require the services of a business broker going forward (again), you are my first choice. It was a pleasure working with you.

It is my pleasure to endorse Stoneridge Partners. They did a spectacular job representing our company in the sale of our staffing division. From the outset of our discussions, we made it clear that we were looking for just the right buyer, one who was not only the right cultural fit for our organization but also someone who could take what we had built to the next level. They thoroughly vetted and qualified all prospects. Stoneridge was invaluable in guiding us through every process of the transaction. The result was a smooth and straightforward transaction. Stoneridge was there every step of the way, providing invaluable advice and direction. They exceeded every one of our expectations. Thank you to the team at Stoneridge Partners.

Engaging Stoneridge Partners to represent me in selling my private duty home care business was one of the best decisions I ever made. A previous attempt with another M&A firm had been unsuccessful. I realized after starting to work with Stoneridge Partners that they were able to source highly qualified strategic buyers that the other firm did not. We had an LOI two months after signing with Stoneridge and concluded the sale to a perfect buyer three months later. The team at Stoneridge Partners were there every step of the way, from preparing the Executive Profile, fielding potential buyers, helping me through due diligence, suggesting legal representation and more. They became valued advisors and friends, always accessible when I needed help. It was a pleasure working with them.

I’m really glad that we utilized Stoneridge Partners in the sale of our company. I’ve had conversations with them since 2017 about selling our company, and we finally decided to list our company with the Stoneridge team in May of 2025. After we went live in June 2025, they connected us with the perfect strategic buyer in August 2025. We had an LOI in September 2025, and we closed in December 2025. It was a pleasure working with the Stoneridge team throughout the entire sales process, and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to sell their company.

Stoneridge Partners did an outstanding job representing our company. They guided us through every step of the process and negotiations. Their in-depth knowledge of our business was invaluable and a great asset to our leadership team, and resulted in a smooth transaction.

Stoneridge was an indispensable asset in taking our company across the closing line. They brought us several potential buyers, did the research on each of them, and guided us through the entire sales process. Their tenacity and determination made this journey a successful one. I would be proud and excited to work with Stoneridge in the future, and I have the utmost trust in them to exceed my professional expectations. I wish Stoneridge all the success that the future may hold!

It has been a pleasure working with you through this somewhat stressful but exciting period. I have found you to be genuine, honest, and reassuring throughout the process, from finding the right buyer to fit with the Carefree culture and your calm demeanor guiding us along the way.

We made it to the finish line, and now this Mother Goose needs to cut the apron strings and let our team soar to new success with TheKey. I am excited to have the time I want to spend with important family relationships, most importantly, Gramma Chell and Alexa have many park play days in the immediate future! Blessings to you and your family.

About a year after I started Sovereign Home Health of Connecticut I reached out to a couple business brokers to lay the foundation of a relationship in case the day came when I would be ready to sell my business. Stoneridge Partners was gracious to spend time with me when we were very small and it was clear that an exit was a long time off in the future. The market intelligence that was shared along the way was critical and invaluable as I built the business. When the time came and I made the decision that I wanted to exit the business, they quickly and effectively made several introductions and within a short period of time we had a couple offers on the table. Stoneridge Partners held my hand at every step along the way and coached me well throughout the entire process.

We cannot say enough positive words about Stoneridge Partners. From the first time we spoke with them, we felt confident that we had made the right choice of brokers. Stoneridge had all the answers to our many questions and was there for us every step of the way. They introduced us to a qualified and competent attorney who walked us through the legal side of the sale. Stoneridge knew what buyers might be interested in our agency and reached out to two buyers before sending us out to a larger market. When both buyers made offers, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Stoneridge remained involved throughout the entire process. We started our agency almost 20 years ago, and we felt they understood how important it was to us that the buyer continue to promote our family atmosphere. Now we feel that Stoneridge is a part of that family.

Thank you all for assisting us through the successful sale of our agency. Throughout the entire process Stoneridge earned our confidence and respect. We especially appreciate your regard for your interest in staff retention and compatible values in a buyer. I give Stoneridge a heart-felt endorsement.

We could not be happier with the outcome of our home health agency’s sale. After initially going to market on our own and coming up empty-handed, Stoneridge Partners provided the expertise and support we needed for a successful exit. From preparing our company for sale to vetting reputable buyers and navigating a complex sale cycle, their wealth of knowledge was invaluable. They also introduced us to experienced legal counsel, who provided competent advice that ensured a clear path forward for our company and our family. We truly would not have been successful without their support.
