Guiding Business Owners Across New Jersey to Successful, Profitable, and Low-Stress Exits
If you’re a business owner in New Jersey thinking about selling your company, you’ve come to the right place.
At HartmannRhodes, we specialize in helping owners of privately held businesses valued between $1 million and $25 million navigate the sale process—from strategic preparation to a successful close. Most of our clients are nearing retirement and want to exit with peace of mind, knowing they’ve protected their legacy, maximized their company’s value, and secured the best possible deal.
We serve clients across the Garden State, including Morris, Somerset, Bergen, Essex, Union, Monmouth, and Middlesex Counties. Whether your business is based in Morristown, Bridgewater, Princeton, Paramus, or beyond—our approach is the same: discreet, strategic, and built around your goals.
Why Business Owners Across New Jersey Choose HartmannRhodes
✓ Specialists in $1M–$25M Business Sales
Most brokers work with “main street” businesses—restaurants, dry cleaners, retail shops—but we’re different. We focus on lower-middle market businesses, which require a different level of strategy, buyer sourcing, deal structuring, and negotiation expertise.
✓ Local Roots, National Reach
We’re based in New Jersey and have deep knowledge of the local business community. But we also bring national exposure, tapping into an active network of strategic buyers, family offices, and private equity groups looking to invest in well-run businesses like yours.
✓ A Former Business Owner in Your Corner
Mark Hartmann, founder of HartmannRhodes, built and sold an Inc. 5000-listed insurance tech company before becoming an M&A advisor. He understands the emotional, financial, and operational challenges of selling a business because he’s been through them himself.
✓ A Process That Protects Your Interests
We guide every client through a structured, strategic process to keep things confidential, minimize disruption, and maximize your outcome. We sweat the details so you can stay focused on running your business—or preparing for what’s next.
Selling a Business in New Jersey? Here's What You're Likely Thinking:
• “What is my business actually worth?”
• "How do I find serious buyers who will respect what I’ve built?”
• “How do I protect my employees and reputation?”
• “Can I sell and still have enough to retire comfortably?”
You’re not alone. Many New Jersey business owners feel the same way—especially those in their 60s and 70s who’ve poured decades into building something real. The good news? With the proper guidance and preparation, your business can sell for substantial value on terms you feel good about.
That’s precisely what we help our clients do.
