Anthony J. Finkel
Business broker. Business builder. Connecticut entrepreneur.
I spent more than a decade building and operating service businesses from the ground up, including a seven-figure company serving more than 125 properties across New York City. After selling that business, I moved to Connecticut to build the next chapter.
Today, I help owners think clearly about business sales, acquisitions, operations, and long-term value.
