Your Business. Your Legacy. Your Exit.
Stan Cortland: From business owner to business broker, helping California business owners achieve stress-free, premium exits through 37+ years of real-world business experience.


Maximize Your Exit. Minimize Your Stress.
For the "Exit-Ready" Business Owner.
Building a business takes more than financial savvy. It takes grit. You didn't build your business by reading textbooks. You are managing crews, solving problems, and earning your reputation one job at a time.
The traditional brokerage model, often without direct operational experience and lacking a shared history of entrepreneurship, may struggle to connect with the owner on a peer level, failing to grasp the non-monetary goals that leave money on the table, or worse, get stuck in a stressful process that goes nowhere.
Your life's work deserves more than a transaction. It deserves a stress-free transition. Sell your business with an advisor who's been in your shoes.
An Advisor Who Has Been In Your Shoes
âťťI'm Stan Cortland. Before I ever represented a single transaction, I spent decades building, scaling, and selling my own business. That experience changes everything.âťž

Over 37 years of experience in sales, management, and business ownership.
