Who We Work With
We connect with business owners, people who want to run a local business, and investors who want to see strong businesses stay in Kittitas County.
That includes owners who aren’t ready to “list” their business but want to start planning for the future, whether that means stepping back, finding a successor, or growing with support. It also includes people who want to run a business in their own community and local investors who want to help keep ownership close to home.
If you’re thinking about selling, stepping in, or investing in a local business, we can help you quietly connect with the right people. No pressure, no big announcements, and always on your terms.
Business Owners
We know from experience how tough it can be to figure out what to do with your business in Kittitas County. You might be thinking about selling, but you don’t want to list it publicly. You don’t want your employees worrying, you don’t want strangers combing through your financials, and you want someone who understands your business and this community.
That’s where we come in.
Manastash Ridge Partners isn’t a broker and we don’t post listings. We just have quiet, confidential conversations with local owners to understand where you’re at. Whether a transition is years away or already on your mind.
When the time is right, we can help connect you with someone who fits: a local operator, an investor, or a buyer you are comfortable with. If you’re not looking to sell now, no problem. We’re still happy to help you think through your options and plan ahead.
You stay in the driver’s seat. We’re just here to help you protect what you’ve built and keep it rooted right here in Kittitas County.
Future Owners & Leaders
You might not think of yourself as a “buyer” or an “entrepreneur,” but maybe you’ve been working in a business for years and wondering what it would be like to run something of your own. Or maybe you’ve moved back to Kittitas County and want to build a life here by leading something that already exists.
We connect with people who want to step into established businesses — not start from scratch — and help them explore what that could look like. Sometimes that means buying a business. Sometimes it’s a shared ownership deal. Sometimes it’s something else.
If you want to run a business in this valley and be part of its future, we’d love to get to know you.
Investors
If you care about this valley and want to see local businesses succeed here, you’re not the only one. We talk with investors who are interested in quietly supporting local business owners.
Manastash Ridge Partners isn’t a fund, and we’re not raising money. We build relationships with business owners and future leaders, and when the right fit comes along, we help make the connection. Whether that’s through investment, mentorship, or shared ownership.
If you’re interested in investing and supporting businesses in Kittitas County, please reach out.
