Business Broker in Hartford, CT
Confidential business sales for owners in Hartford, West Hartford, Glastonbury, Manchester, New Britain and across Hartford County.
Hartford County is one of the largest business markets in Connecticut. Alongside its insurance and healthcare employers, the region has a deep base of precision manufacturers and aerospace suppliers, and thousands of owner-operated service, trades and hospitality businesses. Many were built by owners who are now approaching retirement, and buyers, from local operators to larger companies looking for add-on acquisitions, are actively looking for them.
Pi Business Brokers helps Hartford-area owners sell confidentially and on their terms. We establish a defensible value, market your business without revealing its name, screen every buyer and manage the deal with attorneys, accountants and SBA lenders through closing.
