The Gap
After 20 years and hundreds of closings, we see the same pattern. An owner expects $2M. We look at the numbers and the structure, and the real number is $1.2M. Same revenue, same clients, same market.
The difference is dependency. When every decision and client relationship runs through the owner and nothing is documented, buyers discount by 30% to 50%. Not because the business is bad, but because it is a job the owner happens to own.
When your business runs without you, that is an asset a buyer will pay for.
How It Works
The same team that sells Colorado businesses every month helps you get yours ready.
A formal Business Brokerage Services valuation based on what Colorado buyers are paying in your industry, so you start from an independent number, not a guess.
We review the factors buyers and lenders look at: owner dependency, clean financials, lease terms, customer concentration, staff and documented processes.
A written plan with the fixes that raise value most, your target timeline and the price range you can expect when you are ready.
Reduce owner dependency, tidy up the books, secure the lease and document how the business runs. We check in on progress along the way.
Introductions to our trusted partners: lenders, insurance, attorneys, CPAs and financial planners with real transaction experience.
When the time is right, our brokers take you through the full Road to Sold process to closing. Or keep the business, now worth more.

FAQ
Ideally two to five years before you want to sell. Most of what raises value, like reducing owner dependency and cleaning up financials, takes time to show up in the numbers buyers review.
Buyers discount businesses that depend on the owner: every decision, client relationship and process runs through you. Reducing that dependency is the fastest way to raise the multiple a buyer will pay.
On a business with $150,000 in seller’s discretionary earnings, a half turn improvement adds about $75,000 in exit value, a full turn about $150,000 and 1.5 turns about $225,000.
