Are you making a life, or just a living?
When you retire, will you leave a legacy or just leave a job?Just like you, people on both ends of the small business market are frustrated with the lack of transparent and human-focused ways to find each other.No current solution uses available technology to predict a match between a buyer and seller of a small business and provides key tools and support through the journey. We've spent decades working with small businesses, so we know you can't buy what you can't see and you can't sell if you can't reach a compatible buyer.Which is why we're starting Proprietor: a space for aspiring and retiring small business owners to find what they need to be successful.
A space that's a community

I dreamed up Proprietor from my previous experiences as the Small Business Ombudsman for the State of Maine and as a small business owner. I also come from a family business family.My team & I are building Proprietor because we believe (very) small businesses add value to our economy & communities. We also know business ownership is a key opportunity to build wealth. We are in the early stages of this adventure & growing a team of advisors & partners as we go.
