Mike Hedgebeth

I was exposed to the world of family-owned business at an early age. As I grew up, I was enlisted to help pack bags of product, stuff envelopes with marketing materials, and clean the surfaces of machines. Anything that I could do to help with my Dad’s various businesses, I did. From this, I grew to appreciate small businesses and the stories behind them. After graduating from The Ohio State University, my career began in 2016 as a CPA in Private Company Services at PwC. Over five years, I worked with companies ranging in size from multinational conglomerates to start-up tech companies. During that time, I also worked with advertising, marketing, technology, and business development in the business brokerage. In 2020, I accepted an invitation to join Greg Hedgebeth as a full time Partner in the business. I am an avid Ohio State football and Cincinnati Reds fan. I also dabble in recreational sand volleyball, softball, and golf.

We help you confidentially sell your business. We take you thru all steps from the initial consultation and valuation, to finding a qualified buyer, to closing the transaction. We do not charge any up front or marketing fees and we only get paid if we are successful in selling your business. We carefully screen buyers with signed non disclosure agreements, analysis of financial capabilities, and interviews to determine their business background and experience. We find buyers that are a good fit and minimize your, the sellers, valuable time so you can concentrate on continuing to manage your business as you have always done. We also arrange bank financing for buyers. We have strong relationships with all major SBA lenders. I am a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University and began my career in 1975 in Cincinnati as a CPA with Arthur Andersen and company. I purchased my first Company in 1981, a multi unit nightclub company, with $8 million in sales. Since that time I have owned, operated, managed, bought and sold many different companies in many different industries. I sold my last company, a start up vending company, in 2005 after building sales to $2 million per year. Over the years I have bought and sold and brokered many companies for myself and others. I have a personal and first hand understanding of business owners, owning a business, and the mental process sellers go through before selling. I also understand buyers and what they are looking for in businesses to buy and their decision making process. I can put this first hand knowledge to good use in bringing buyers and sellers together and being very successful in getting businesses sold. I have been married to my wife, Mary Helen, for 35 years and we have 5 children.
