"I help business owners transform their life’s work into a liquid asset. Leveraging an MBA from USC Marshall, I move beyond the transaction to act as a strategic advisor. During my tenure as President of the US Veteran Business Alliance, I consulted for a diverse portfolio of startups and small businesses, solving complex operational hurdles and preparing them for market-readiness. My approach to business is built on data-driven valuation and a deep network of industry leaders. I combine a veteran’s discipline with an advanced academic foundation to help organizations unlock hidden value, build strategic partnerships, and execute seamless exits in the NY and CT markets." I don't just find buyers; I identify the right strategic partners to ensure a legacy continues while maximizing the seller's ROI."

Bobby Mort is a dynamic entrepreneur and business broker from Sewell, NJ, passionate about helping both current and aspiring business owners achieve their goals. Starting in high school, Bobby worked in his family’s trailer sales and service business, eventually taking on full-time leadership of the company after graduation. He expanded the business by launching and fully owning a rental division, managing it entirely, and successfully integrating it into the company’s core operations. When it was time to exit, Bobby played a key role in the successful sale of the business. This experience sparked his passion for business brokerage, where he now leverages his firsthand knowledge of entrepreneurship and successfully exiting a business to guide others through the buying and selling process with confidence. In addition to his business expertise, Bobby is an active member of Kiwanis International and enjoys playing ice hockey and golf in his free time. His involvement in both community service and sports reflect his commitment to teamwork, leadership, and giving back.

Business has always been a big part of my life. I run my family's high-volume grocery and deli business in Westchester, New York, where we're open seven days a week from 7AM to 10PM. Running the business has given me a firsthand understanding of what it takes to operate a company—from managing employees and working with vendors to controlling costs, solving problems, and making decisions that keep the business moving forward. Before joining East Coast Business Brokers, I spent more than six years working on equipment CapEx projects, partnering with everyone from venture-backed startups to Fortune 5000 companies. I worked across industries including aerospace, biotechnology, beauty and cosmetics, packaging and material handling, robotics, industrial automation, and advanced manufacturing. Those experiences gave me firsthand exposure to how businesses evaluate capital investments, improve operations, and plan for long-term growth. Outside of business, I was a Division II collegiate soccer player. The discipline, preparation, teamwork, and accountability I developed through athletics continue to shape the way I approach both business and the relationships I build with clients. Today, I bring those experiences into my work as a Business Broker at East Coast Business Brokers. Whether you're buying a business, selling one, or simply exploring your options, my goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible while helping you make informed decisions with confidence.

I built my career in the medical device marketplace, at the intersection of innovation and growth — helping launch and scale device startups, and guiding several companies through successful sales to Fortune 100 acquirers. That experience gave me a front-row seat to what it takes to build a company that's truly ready for a transition, and what separates a smooth sale from a stressful one. That perspective is what drew me into business brokerage. Having been on the operating side of high-stakes transitions myself, I understand the complexity, emotion, and detail involved in selling a business you've spent years building. My focus today is helping owners navigate that same process — with the same rigor and care I once brought to scaling and selling companies from the inside. My practice spans healthcare and healthcare-adjacent businesses — including durable medical equipment (DME) distributors, physical therapy practices, and medical spas/aesthetic practices — alongside broad operating experience across diversified B2B and B2C industries, including manufacturing, waste management, and home services. That range gives me a versatile, cross-sector perspective, whether I'm working with a healthcare practice owner or a service-based business owner preparing for their next chapter. I work primarily with business owners and buyers throughout the New York Tri-State area and Florida, and welcome the opportunity to discuss your goals — whether you're preparing to sell, actively searching for the right acquisition, or simply want to understand your options.
