About Nicky Numbers
Nicholas Clinton — known professionally as Nicky Numbers — is a Long Island senior business advisor with Hedgestone Business Advisors. He helps buyers acquire small-to-mid market businesses with a clear-eyed focus on the numbers.
WHO HE IS
Long Island, by background and by deal flow.
Nicholas operates out of Long Island and specializes in regional opportunities — businesses that thrive on local relationships, recurring customer bases, and operators who know the market. The deal flow reflects the territory: marinas, restaurants, service businesses, professional practices.
HOW HE WORKS
Lead with the numbers. Skip the fluff.
Every conversation starts with the financials. If the deal works on paper, we go deep. If it doesn't, you find out fast. No drawn-out pitches, no inflated projections — just clean numbers and honest framing of what the business actually is.
WHY CLIENTS TRUST HIM
Skin in the game on every deal.
Operating under the Hedgestone Business Advisors umbrella means access to institutional-grade deal infrastructure: vetted CIMs, NDA processes, and structured transition support. Buyers and sellers alike know they're working with a broker who's incentivized to close the right deal, not just any deal.
