Anthony Manzione

I specialize in representing business owners who are considering a sale, as well as buyers seeking profitable, well-positioned acquisition opportunities. My firm is industry agnostic, meaning we work across a wide range of sectors including food & beverage, service businesses, retail, distribution, medical, manufacturing, and more. We assist owners with valuation guidance, financial normalization, buyer qualification, confidential marketing, negotiation strategy, and transaction management from initial consultation through closing. Our focus is on preparing businesses properly before going to market—cleaning up financials, identifying add-backs, strengthening positioning, and creating competitive buyer demand to maximize value. For buyers, we provide access to qualified opportunities nationwide and help structure deals that align with both financial goals and long-term growth strategy. We prioritize confidentiality, professionalism, and efficiency throughout the entire process. Although based in the Tri-State, we represent businesses across the United States. Our network includes private buyers, strategic operators, search funds, and investor groups actively looking for acquisitions in multiple industries and markets. Whether you are exploring an exit, actively preparing to sell, or searching for the right acquisition, our goal is simple: position the business correctly, create leverage in negotiations, and help both parties achieve a successful transition.

I work with business owners to prepare, position, and sell their businesses with clarity and discretion. My background spans operations, finance, and marketing, which allows me to look beyond surface-level numbers and help sellers tell the full story of their business to serious buyers. I focus on realistic valuations, clean financial narratives, and strong buyer qualification—avoiding wasted time and over-promising. Whether a business is fully turnkey or still owner-dependent, my role is to structure the opportunity properly, guide expectations, and drive transactions to a smooth closing. I believe good deals are built on transparency, preparation, and alignment—not pressure.
