Whether you're ready to sell what you've built or find the right business to own — Anthony Manzione guides you through every step with discretion, data, and expertise. Based in Monmouth County, I'm boots-on-the-ground across every corner of New Jersey — and HedgeStone's reach extends nationwide.
With a career defined by results and relationships, Anthony brings a true boots-on-the-ground approach to every engagement. As a Monmouth County resident, he knows New Jersey's business landscape firsthand — and he takes the time to deeply understand each business he works with, its strengths, its market position, and what truly sets it apart from the competition.
Anthony works with deals of every size, from a single storefront on the Jersey Shore to complex multi-market transactions. His standard never changes — every motivated, qualified client receives the same dedicated attention and strategic thinking, whether they're across the county or across the country.
He understands that for many business owners, the sale of their company represents the culmination of a lifetime of hard work — often the cornerstone of their retirement — and he treats that responsibility with the seriousness it deserves.
Through HedgeStone's curated network, Anthony directly connects sellers with the right buyers for each specific deal — not just any buyer, but the right one.
