Broker Professional Profile

Broker Bio

Mark Hartmann, MBA, is the author of Sweat Equity Payday and an M&A advisor who helps business owners sell their companies smart—maximizing value while protecting the terms that matter most. A founder who built and sold his own eight-figure company—and a three-time Inc. 5000 CEO Honoree—Mark brings firsthand insight into what buyers pay for and why. In Sweat Equity Payday, he distills the exit into three practical truths: prepare early to keep leverage, build value by reducing risk (especially owner dependency), and focus on the deal you actually get—price and terms—from LOI to close.
