Broker Profile
STRATEGIC ENDEAVORS LLC was founded in December of 1999 by James A. Eshleman in Lancaster County, PA. Eshleman is the principal and directly handles all clients of the firm. Our philosophy is to selectively take a limited number of quality engagements and then work them intensively to conclusion. Accordingly, our closing ratio is much higher than firms who concentrate on listing volume.
Eshleman is a registered professional civil engineer and spent over 20 years in the business world including 3 years as a project engineer with a Fortune 500 steel producer, 15 years as a manager and then owner of a construction materials and contracting company, and then 3 years as a non-owner president/manager of a family owned contracting and service company in the water supply and treatment industries.
Eshleman became interested facilitating the business transfer process after completing the sale of two mid-market companies as a business owner and seller. He is an active member in the PBBA (Pennsylvania Business Brokers Association) and IBBA (International Business Brokers Association). Through completion of educational coursework and meeting experience requirements, he has earned the IBBA's Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) designation, one of the most recognized and sought after designations in the industry. Out of approx. 4,000 business intermediaries across the country, less than 1,000 hold this certification.
In addition to his professional activities, Eshleman is Chairman of the Water Authority in his community, past President of the Rotary Club of Lancaster West, and active in leadership at his Church.
