Licensed & Professional
Founder & Principal Advisor
Hi, I'm Colton Mortag. I've helped dozens of Illinois business owners successfully exit their businesses with maximum value and complete peace of mind.
Unlike typical brokers who rush deals or disappear after the listing, I stay personally involved from your initial valuation through closing—and even beyond if you need post-sale real estate or relocation support.
Licensed Professional: Real estate & business broker credentials
Entrepreneur Background: I've built, run, and exited businesses myself
Chicago Market Expert: Deep connections across Illinois business community
Boutique Service: You work directly with me, not a junior associate
You've built something valuable. Now it's time to get what it's worth—with an advisor who understands the stakes.
Your employees, competitors, and vendors won't know you're selling until you're ready to tell them. We use NDAs, blind listings, and discreet buyer vetting to protect your business reputation and operations.
We don't rush deals. Every business gets a comprehensive valuation, strategic positioning, and targeted buyer outreach to ensure you receive top dollar—not just the first offer that comes in.
No junior associates. No call centers. No hand-offs. Colton personally handles your valuation, buyer negotiations, and closing coordination from start to finish.
Selling a business with property? Relocating after your exit? As a licensed real estate professional, Colton handles both sides of your transaction without needing multiple advisors.
Not your typical business broker. Get boutique-level attention, modern execution, and guidance from someone who has built businesses — not just sold them.
Get a real picture of what your business is worth — not just a guess. Includes cash flow analysis, adjusted EBITDA, market multiples, and growth potential.
Your employees, competitors, and customers never know you're selling. Every buyer is pre-screened and signs an NDA before seeing your business details.
You're not a number. Work directly with Colton Mortag, an experienced entrepreneur who understands operations, cash flow, and the emotional side of selling.
We identify and attract the most qualified buyers for your specific business — individual operators, strategic buyers, investors, and industry professionals.
Your business is packaged like a premium asset with professional design, full financial breakdown, and growth opportunity roadmap.
No pressure. No smoke and mirrors. Just transparent guidance and informed strategy throughout your entire exit process.
Whether you're ready to sell, planning ahead, or exploring an acquisition, we provide professional guidance tailored to your goals.
Exit your business with confidence, maximum value, and full confidentiality. From accurate valuation to strategic negotiation and closing support.
Make smart acquisition decisions with expert guidance. We help you source opportunities, evaluate financials, negotiate terms, and close with confidence.
To ensure every client receives personalized, white-glove service, I only work with a limited number of business owners at a time. Currently accepting 3 new engagements for December.
