I'm Jason Taken, a business advisor with HedgeStone Business Advisors. I help owners exit at maximum value and connect serious buyers with vetted opportunities — confidentially, and with the full weight of a national and international buyer network behind every deal.
Working with HedgeStone means you get the resources of a full-service brokerage with the focus of a dedicated advisor. I personally manage your engagement — protecting confidentiality, qualifying every buyer, and driving toward the outcome that matters most to you.
Most owners only sell once. My job is to make that one transaction count — running a competitive, discreet process that surfaces the right buyer at the right terms, without tipping off the market.
HedgeStone Business Advisors facilitates mergers, acquisitions, and business sales across hospitality, food service, retail, professional services, e-commerce, wholesale, and commercial real estate.
Whether you're preparing to exit, actively selling, or looking to acquire, each engagement is handled with the same rigor and discretion.
