Rocky Mountian Business Advisors
Serving Denver County, CO
At Rocky Mountain Business Advisors, we help owners sell their businesses for the highest price possible, in the shortest amount of time. We also negotiate favorable terms for sellers and have a proven process that helps ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. With more than 20 years experience, we focus on selling privately-held businesses with $500,000 to $20 million (or more) in revenues. Over the years, the key to our success has been combining a process-oriented approach, sense of urgency, and commitment to protecting owners’ legacies. Free Consultation For Sellers If you’d like to sell your business, we’re happy to offer a free consultation. In the consultation, we’ll talk about your business, your goals, and what you’d like to get out of the sale. Valuing Your Business If we’re a good fit and you decide to hire us as your business broker, we’ll complete a comprehensive valuation of your business. The valuation will include measures you can take to increase the value of the business and/or make the sale more appealing to a larger pool of buyers. Getting To Know You And Your Business We’ll also make it our business to know your business and your markets, so that we can clearly articulate not only your financials, but also your unique value-drivers to potential buyers. Minimizing Distractions Selling a business, if you’re not careful, can be a giant distraction, and the longer the process drags on, the more it can devalue your business. From start to finish, we have a proven process that will enable you to run your business as usual, while we work behind the scenes to secure the sale. Qualifying And Understanding Buyers One of the primary ways that we minimize distractions is by pre-qualifying buyers, so that you don’t get your hopes up and waste time on someone who is unlikely to buy your business on your terms. Thanks to years of corporate senior management experience in starting, growing, owning, and selling companies, we have a process of evaluating buyers that helps ensure they have the financial resources to buy your business and the experience and skills to keep it running. Getting You What You Want Most potential business sales break down at the negotiating table, but we have the experience and expertise to make even the most complicated deals result in terms that you and the buyer can accept. You’re Our Priority Many business brokers take pride in having a high number of listings of businesses for sale. We’re not like most brokers. By intention, we limit the number of owners we work with so that we can give you and your business the time, effort, and resources needed to ensure a successful sale. What Makes Us Successful? We make it our business to know your business and the markets in which you operate so that we can clearly articulate not only the financials but as important, the unique value-drivers that Buyers always seek but which many Brokers fail to take the time to understand and convey to prospective Buyers. While most Business Brokers pride themselves on how many listings they have in their inventory we believe that it is in the best interests of our clients to limit the number of our listings so that our time, effort, and resources are focused on a small set of high-quality businesses. Are There Any Engagements We Do Not Accept? Among the types of businesses that we do not accept as clients: those that are unable to substantiate their financials, are not cash flow positive, start-ups, or sellers that are unrealistic about the market value of their business (because these businesses rarely sell, and we are business brokers in the business of selling businesses – not listing businesses).
