Get an instant price range based on what Colorado buyers are paying in your industry. Then talk to a broker for an exact number.
There is no simple formula for what a business is worth. Value depends on seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE), EBITDA, sales and margins, along with the owner’s experience, the lease and the industry. Two similar businesses can sell for very different prices, and a number from an online calculator can cost you real money. A broker who has closed deals in your industry can tell you what buyers will actually pay

Our 8 Step Process
Every sale follows the same proven path. Here are the eight steps we’ll move through together.
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.
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.
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.
We screen every inquiry so only serious, financially capable buyers ever learn the details of your business. Every buyer signs an NDA first.
We help structure and present written offers, then work through price, financing, training and transition until both sides reach an agreement that works.
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.
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.
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!

Client Reviews
I used Michael’s services to sell a liquor store. He was professional, thorough, realistic, and concise. The store was worth more than I would have thought on my own. I wanted to move quickly so he was able to find a buyer very quickly.
Stacey Robinson, Business Owner
Michael and his staff are absolutely excellent: honest, thorough, quick, responsive, and always available. I can say without a doubt that our deal wouldn’t have closed had it not been for them.
Tom Dempsey, Business Owner
They made a stressful process of purchasing a liquor store as smooth as could be. After a year in business, everything he told me was accurate and the business is well exceeding our expectations.
