Ashford & Associates
About Us Ashford & Associates
Ashford & Associates started because too many owners sold their companies and immediately wished they'd done it differently. Bad structures. Missed tax angles. Buyers who pulled out right before closing. We decided to be the firm that prevents that. Working from Craiova since 2011, we've helped 47 business owners navigate M&A without the typical mess. Sometimes that means advising against a sale. Sometimes it means finding the buyer nobody else thought to call.
What sets us apart is a focus on outcomes and long‑term relationships. We listen first, then execute with care and transparency.

Why Choose Us
Real deal experience
Not theory. We've closed 47 transactions across manufacturing, tech, and services. We know where problems hide because we've found them all before.
Due diligence that sticks
We dig where others don't. Financial records, contracts, liabilities—we uncover the stuff that kills deals three months in. Then we fix it.
Negotiation that works
We've sat across the table from thousands of buyers and sellers. We know their playbook. We know yours. That's why deals close faster with us involved.
Structure that holds
Tax optimization, earnout design, contingencies—the architecture matters. We build it so you don't regret the deal five years later when tax season hits.
