Jesse Hastings
CBH Business Group
Serving Osceola County, FL
CBH Business Group is a Florida-based M&A advisory firm representing business owners in the confidential sale of companies valued between $3 million and $50 million — across all industries, statewide. Our clients consistently achieve 15–20% above their initially expected sale price. That result doesn't happen by accident. It's the product of three things working together: expert deal positioning, a private network of nearly 4,000 active buyers, and financial preparation that makes your business bulletproof in due diligence. Our team brings something most advisors cannot: we've built, scaled, and sold our own businesses. George Hastings is our licensed broker and built one of the largest garage door companies in the Southeast before selling it. Richard Bradley is a CPA who recently sold his own accounting practice and has guided the financial side of over 100 business transactions. Jesse Hastings sold his company, now runs two others he has largely automated, and specializes in positioning businesses to attract maximum buyer competition — which is exactly how sellers end up above their number. We bring institutional-quality M&A advisory to the lower middle market. That means confidential, strategic, and built around one goal: the highest possible outcome for you. CBH Business Group. Built by sellers, for sellers.
