Ted Cohen, Vice President and Associate Partner, specializes in home health care and hospice.
After receiving his degree from The University of Alabama, Ted began his career working for a large home health care agency on Florida’s east coast. Less than two years later, he left the company to operate his own home health care agency in the Tampa Bay area. After achieving immediate growth and noticing the consolidation of mid-market home health care agencies in Florida, Ted sold the company in 2018.
Ted and his family live in Memphis, Tennessee where you can find them enjoying the outdoors, eating barbeque, and cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies- preferably doing all three activities at the same time.
Ted has owned multiple businesses and has valuable experience on the buy-side and sell-side of numerous transactions. At Stoneridge Partners, he uses his 10+ years of healthcare experience to help business owners achieve their goals.
I have worked with many brokers and Ted Cohen stands above the rest. Throughout the entire process he made sure very conversation went smoothly and never let me get too high or too low. He allowed the seller and I to talk as much as needed which created partnership that is very unique. I will only make one call when I sell my business and that is to Ted.
It is my pleasure to endorse and recommend Ted Cohen. Ted did a spectacular job at representing our company in the sale of our staffing division. From the outset of our discussions, we made it clear to Ted that we were looking for just the right buyer, one that was not only the right cultural fit for our organization, but also someone that could take what we had built to the next level. Ted thoroughly vetted and qualified all prospects. Ted was invaluable in guiding us through every process of the transaction. He is intelligent, insightful and supportive. The end result was a smooth, and straightforward transaction. Ted was there every step of the way providing invaluable advice and direction. Ted exceeded every one of our expectations, and in the process he became a friend. Thank you Ted and the team at Stoneridge Partners.

We cannot say enough positive words about Stoneridge Partners. From the first time we spoke with Ted Cohen, we felt confident that we had made the right choice of brokers. Ted had all the answers to our many questions and was there for us every step of the way. He introduced us to a qualified and competent attorney who stepped us through the legal side of the sale. Ted knew what buyers might be interested in our agency and reached out to two buyers before sending us out to a larger market. When both buyers made offers, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Ted remained involved throughout the entire process. We started our agency almost 20 years ago, and we felt he understood how important it was to us that the buyer continue to promote our family atmosphere. Now we feel that Ted is a part of that family.
We worked with Ted and Stoneridge in 2022 when we sold our California private pay home care agency. I have a lot of M&A experience myself and hesitated to sign up with Stoneridge, primarily because I thought I could do it myself and save the broker fee. However, I am very pleased to have chosen Ted and Stoneridge. Reasons include:
- They brought buyers to the process that we would otherwise not have found, and
- The involvement of a firm like Stoneridge gave us “leverage” with the buyer that we otherwise wouldn’t have had. That is, buyers are less likely to behave in bad faith for fear of alienating a deal source like Stoneridge- and “bad faith” can happen before, during, or after a deal closes.
Things worked out well for us, and we would recommend Ted and Stoneridge without hesitation.
Ted, it was very much a pleasure working with you through this very stressful time. From our first encounter, you made me feel very comfortable and that no question I had was “too ridiculous”. I have found you to be genuine, honest, and reassuring throughout the process, always having time to take my calls and/or help me through my technology-challenged times. When you didn’t have an immediate answer, I always received a returned call and/or email with the answer. Stoneridge Partners is lucky to have you as a part of their team.
