Bridging the Gap
Between Buyers & Sellers

I have worked with many brokers, and Ted Cohen stands above the rest. Throughout the entire process, he made sure every conversation went smoothly and never let me get too high or too low. He allowed the seller and me to talk as much as needed, which created a partnership that is very unique. I will only make one call when I sell my business, and that is to Ted.

It is my pleasure to endorse and recommend Ted Cohen. Ted did a spectacular job at representing our company in the sale of our staffing division. From the outset of our discussions, we made it clear to Ted 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. Ted thoroughly vetted and qualified all prospects. Ted was invaluable in guiding us through every process of the transaction. He is intelligent, insightful, and supportive. The result was a smooth and straightforward transaction. Ted was there every step of the way, providing invaluable advice and direction. Ted exceeded every one of our expectations, and in the process, he became a friend. Thank you, Ted and the team at Stoneridge Partners.

I’m really glad that we utilized Stoneridge Partners in the sale of our company. I’ve had conversations with Ben since 2017 about selling our company, and we finally decided to list our company with Ben and the Stoneridge team in May of 2025. After we went live in June 2025, Ben connected me with Ted, and Ted was able to quickly connect 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 Ben, Ted, and the Stoneridge team throughout the entire sales process, and I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to sell their company.

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.

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 he was 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.

We worked with Ted and Stoneridge 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 Ted and Stoneridge. 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 Ted and Stoneridge without hesitation.

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.

Ted, it was very much a pleasure working with you through this very stressful time. From our first encounter, you made me feel very comfortable and that no question I had was “too ridiculous”. I have found you to be genuine, honest, and reassuring throughout the process, always having time to take my calls and/or help me through my technology-challenged times. When you didn’t have an immediate answer, I always received a returned call and/or email with the answer. Stoneridge Partners is lucky to have you as a part of their team.

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, Ted Cohen and Ben Bogan from Stoneridge 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.

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

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.

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 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 Ted Cohen, we felt confident that we had made the right choice of brokers. Ted had all the answers to our many questions and was there for us every step of the way. He introduced us to a qualified and competent attorney who stepped us through the legal side of the sale. Ted 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. Ted remained involved throughout the entire process. We started our agency almost 20 years ago, and we felt he understood how important it was to us that the buyer continue to promote our family atmosphere. Now we feel that Ted is a part of that family.
