I am founder and managing partner of Colorado Business Brokers. We have two strategic partners at this time: Orion Capital of Highlands Ranch, Colorado and Business Brokers of Utah in Salt Lake City. Eric Shampine and Purvish Kothari are with Orion Capital and Michelle Regner is President of Business Brokers of Utah.

We work collaboratively for our business selling clients. I have sold over 500 businesses in my 40-year+ career as a business broker! Don't be distracted by the current BizBuySell tabulations, which record only my recent, Colorado-based and publicly-reported sales and listings on BizBuySell. I have worked in 3 states and also coach business brokers and business owners nationwide.

A business broker who is ALSO a business coach offers unique assistance to buyers and sellers! My many years as a credentialed business broker, appraiser and coach makes a difference. Check me out here or at www.Linkedin/in/glencooper.

What Is A Business Broker / Business Coach?

A business broker helps small business owners sell their businesses. This is a mostly-confidential business involving the valuation and marketing of firms, run by owner-operators, with typical sales transaction sizes under $10 million. To be a successful business broker requires a unique combination of analytical, financial and sales skills.

A business coach helps business owners build valuable businesses. Most business coaches, however, come from – and work for – large corporations as “executive coaches.” Only a few know about – or can coach – the owner-operators of small businesses. A great coach knows how to ask probing questions, listen to the answers and help a client gain clarity about any issue - and move forward!

The combined skills of a successful business broker and coach – the analytical, financial, sales, listening and questioning abilities – can provide powerful counsel and/or coaching to a business owner AND to a prospective business buyer.

Each of us at Colorado Business Brokers sells small businesses and coaches small business owners and small business buyers. We are unique among our peers. I am a credentialed and highly successful business broker of long standing, as well a creative and innovative business and professional coach, now practicing in Denver, Colorado.

I am the 2020-2022 President of the Colorado Association of Business Intermediaries (CABI) and Fellow of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). I am also the author of "Glen Cooper on Business Brokerage," the most recent national course for training business brokers, available only at Business Brokerage Press (www.BusinessBrokeragePress.com/Shop).

I was a Certified Business Appraiser (CBA) (1984-2011) and Business Valuator Accredited for Litigation (BVAL) (1999-2011) from the Institute of Business Appraisers, as well as a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) (1985-1993) of the National Association of Realtors, a designation for expertise in commercial and investment real estate.

I maintained all those designations when I ran a large business brokerage firm in New England. I sold that firm in 2010, moved back to my original home state of Colorado. I then practiced as a sole practitioner by choice from 2010-2018. In 2018, I chose to form a new company, a genuinely collaborative business brokerage practice with other people and even other professional firms, in order to build a team for the best service to clients.
