Why Owners Choose Business Brokerage Services

Colorado contractors are busy, but every owner faces the same questions when it is time to sell: will the backlog transfer, will the crews stay, and will the buyer be able to bond and license the work? Answering those early is what gets deals closed.

Business Brokerage Services sells general contractors and specialty trade companies across Colorado, from concrete and excavation to remodeling, framing, fencing and paving. We document your backlog, equipment, licenses and key people, and we find buyers who can continue your reputation.

Colorado Market Update, 2026

What Has Changed for Colorado Construction Companies

Laws, costs and buyer expectations that affect your sale price right now.

New multifamily incentive program (HB25-1272)

Starting January 1, 2026, the Colorado American Dream Act offers builders added protection from construction defect claims if they provide a warranty and use third party inspections. It aims to restart condo and multifamily building.

Workers' comp proof for larger permits (SB26-093)

A 2026 law requires building permit applicants on projects over $1 million to file proof of workers’ compensation coverage before work starts. Buyers will check that your compliance is in order.

The labor gap is real

Colorado workforce groups estimate a shortage of more than 30,000 construction workers. Contractors with steady crews win more work and are worth more.

Costs and risk are rising

Construction leaders nationally cite rising labor and material costs as the top threat to profit in 2026, so buyers look closely at job costing and bidding discipline.

Handover

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 a construction company in Colorado: Common Questions

How much is my construction company worth?

Most construction businesses sell anywhere from about 1.0 to 6.5 times SDE. Strong backlog, repeat clients and a team that runs projects without the owner push the value higher.

Does my backlog transfer to the buyer?

Usually, yes, with customer consent where contracts require it. We price signed work and work in progress fairly for both sides.

What about my contractor licenses and bonding?

Licenses and bonding are tied to people and companies. We plan how the buyer will qualify before marketing.

Can I sell my equipment separately?

Equipment is normally included, but we can carve out items you want to keep or sell separately.

Do you sell specialty trades like concrete, paving and fencing?

Yes. We sell general contractors and specialty trades of all kinds.

How long does it take to sell?

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.
