1 Initial Meeting

It starts with a confidential, no obligation conversation. We learn about your business, your goals and your timeline, and you learn exactly how we work and what to expect.

2 Valuation & Financials

You complete our Business Valuation Intake (BVI), and our team analyzes your financials to determine what your business is truly worth in today’s market.

3 Marketing & Exposure

Our team builds professional marketing materials and takes your business to market through our buyer network and national listing platforms, all without revealing its identity.

4 Buyer Vetting

We screen every inquiry so only serious, financially capable buyers ever learn the details of your business. Every buyer signs an NDA first.

5 Offers & Negotiation

We help structure and present written offers, then work through price, financing, training and transition until both sides reach an agreement that works.

6 Under Contract & Due Diligence

The buyer verifies financials, operations and contracts while earnest money is held in a neutral escrow account. We keep requests organized and deadlines on track.

7 Lease, License & Entity

We manage the approvals that let the business change hands: your lease assignment, license transfers such as liquor permits, and the buyer’s new legal entity.

8 Closing & Handover

Final documents are signed, funds transfer through escrow and you are paid. A short transition hands off operations, vendors, staff and customers.

Typical timeline: 3 to 9 months from listing to close. Approximately 30% of our listings close within the first 3 months!

FAQ

Selling Your Business: Questions Owners Ask

Why should I use a business broker to sell my business?

A broker keeps the sale confidential, finds and screens buyers, presents your business properly, negotiates terms and manages the many parties needed to close. You keep running the business, which protects its value while it is for sale.

Provide accurate information at the start, mainly through our Business Valuation Intake (BVI), then keep growing the business as if you will own it for years. A business whose numbers slip while it is for sale is harder to sell.

Every buyer signs a nondisclosure agreement before learning anything that identifies your business, and our listings describe the opportunity without naming it or its location.

We build professional marketing materials and take your business to our database of 23,000+ registered buyers, national listing platforms and our referral network of accountants, attorneys and lenders, all without revealing its identity.

Most sales close 3 to 9 months from listing, with an average of about 150 days. Approximately 30% of our listings close within the first 3 months. A realistic price, clean financial records and a well prepared business all shorten the timeline.

We normalize your financials, calculate seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE) and compare your business with recent Colorado sales in your industry. We walk you through the numbers so the price makes sense before we go to market.

It is not required. About 85% of our deals close with SBA financing. A small seller note can still help, because it shows the buyer and lender that you believe in the business, and it can make the deal easier to approve.

Yes, when it is part of a business sale. You can sell the property with the business or keep it and lease it to the buyer.

After a buyer signs an NDA and reviews the confidential profile, we may arrange a discreet visit. Meetings between you and a serious buyer are scheduled when the buyer is qualified and still interested.

We present every written offer with the terms clearly explained, then negotiate price, financing, training and transition in writing. We aim for the best result for you while keeping a good relationship with the buyer, who you may work with during the transition.
