The right next owner for the business you built.
Partnering with owners to continue their legacy.
I’m Abhishek. I partner with owners who are ready for their next chapter, buy their company, and personally run it for the long term, so the employees, customers, and name they built stay in good hands.
Start a confidential conversationEvery conversation is private. No obligation.
Is this a fit for you?
I work with owners of established, profitable companies who care about what happens next. You might be:
Planning your retirement
You’ve spent years, maybe decades, building this. You want to step away knowing the company, and the people in it, are well looked after.
Ready for your next chapter
You’re not done working, but you are done with this business. You want a clean, fair exit so you can move on to what’s next.
Looking for a partner to grow
You still believe in the business but want someone to take the lead, bringing fresh energy, capital, and focus to its next phase.
What I’m looking for
No business checks every box. Think of these as a guide, not a gate. If you’re close, I’d still like to talk.
The business
- Established and profitable, with at least three years of consistent profits
- Annual revenue of roughly $5M to $30M
- Annual profit (EBITDA) of roughly $0.5M to $5M
- Healthy margins, typically 15% or higher
- Recurring or repeat revenue from loyal customers
- No single customer making up too large a share of sales
- A capable team that wants to stay and keep building
The fit
- Industries: genuinely open, with particular interest in healthcare and healthcare services, B2B and professional services, manufacturing, distribution and logistics, niche software, and skilled-trade or industrial services
- Location: anywhere in the United States
- Situation: an owner ready to transition, who wants the company and its people to thrive after the sale
Close but not exact? Reach out anyway. These are starting points, not strict rules.
Why sell to me
When you sell, who you sell to matters. Here is how I differ from the buyers you are most likely to meet.
| Ashmont Partners (me) | Private equity firm | Competitor / strategic buyer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How long they keep it | I buy to operate it for the long term, with no countdown to a resale. | Typically sold again within four to seven years. | Absorbed permanently and often restructured. |
| Who runs it day to day | Me: full-time, on-site, and hands-on. | A rotating executive or portfolio manager. | Folded into the buyer’s existing management. |
| Your employees | I rely on your team and want them to stay and grow. | Often “optimized” to hit the fund’s return targets. | Frequently cut where roles overlap (“synergies”). |
| Your company’s name | Kept, since it’s part of why the business works. | May be merged or rebranded. | Usually disappears into the parent brand. |
| Where their focus goes | The only business I will own, so it gets all my attention. | One of many companies in the fund. | One division competing for attention. |
| Deal structure | We’ll work together to find terms that work for you. | Standardized to the fund’s model. | Driven by the acquirer’s wider strategy. |
Selling to a competitor or a fund is one option. Selling to someone who will show up every day and run it as their own is another.
How it works
Selling your business is a big decision, so the process is built to move at your pace. You decide whether to continue at every step, and everything is confidential from the very first conversation.
A first conversation
We talk, confidentially, to see whether there’s a fit. We’ll sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement so you can speak freely. You share some high-level information, I answer your questions, and if it makes sense I give you a preliminary sense of value.
Letter of Intent
If we both want to go further, we work through the details together and I put a written offer, a Letter of Intent, in front of you, with clear terms. Nothing is binding until you are comfortable.
Diligence and close
We confirm the details, complete the paperwork, and close. You receive your payment in cash, and we transition the business together on a timeline that works for you.
A buyer who has actually run a business
I’m Abhishek, the founder of Ashmont Partners.
I grew up inside a family business. For more than a decade I watched my family’s manufacturing company grow, and I learned early how a well-run small business creates lasting security for its employees, its customers, and its community.
Before business school, I spent more than two years helping run that company, a dental equipment manufacturer, working hands-on across operations, sales, and product development. Running a real business taught me what spreadsheets don’t: that great companies are built on strong teams, disciplined operations, and patient, long-term thinking.
Earlier in my career I worked in marketing and operations across advertising, behavioral health, and financial services, and I went on to earn my MBA at the Kelley School of Business.
Now I’m looking for one business to call my own, to lead, improve, and grow for the long term. Outside of work, I practice meditation, mentor young entrepreneurs, and volunteer with community organizations.
Serious and ready to act
Ashmont Partners is supported by a network of experienced entrepreneurs, operators, and investors who have built, bought, and grown successful companies. Several have already expressed interest in backing this acquisition, bringing not only capital but decades of operating judgment to help the business I acquire succeed for the long term.
What that means for you: when we reach an agreement, I have the relationships and the resources to follow through and close.
For business brokers and M&A advisors
If you represent a seller, I aim to be an easy buyer to work with: clear criteria, fast and straight answers, and a process that respects your client’s time.
At a glance, I’m looking for profitable U.S. businesses with roughly $5M to $30M in revenue and $0.5M to $5M in EBITDA, across healthcare, B2B and professional services, manufacturing, distribution, niche software, and industrial services.
I review opportunities quickly, tell you honestly whether something is a fit, keep every conversation confidential, and I’m backed and structured to close. If you have a business that fits, or might, I’d welcome the introduction.
