Buy a Business in the Mountain West
Buying a business can be one of the most rewarding decisions you make, and one of the most consequential. The right acquisition can give you an established customer base, trained staff, and cash flow from day one. The wrong one can cost you years and savings. First Choice Business Brokers (FCBB) helps buyers across Utah, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado work through that decision with clear eyes, so you understand what you are buying before you commit.
FCBB was founded in 1994 by Jeff and Linda Nyman, who still own and guide the firm. Since then the network has handled close to $15 billion in transactions, with roughly 85 independent owner-operators and more than 300 agents sharing a common pool of vetted buyers and listings nationwide. That scale gives you access to opportunities you would rarely find on your own, paired with local advisors who know the Mountain West market. Mike and Lynn Lee lead Team Lee in the region, with Mike serving as Managing Director and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA).
Where Most Buyers Get Stuck
Finding the right business is harder than it looks. Listings can be vague, financials can be incomplete, and it is easy to fall for a business that looks good on the surface but does not hold up under scrutiny. Many first-time buyers spend months chasing the wrong opportunities, or move too fast on a deal they have not fully understood. The cost of a poor decision is real, which is why a structured, advisory process matters more than enthusiasm alone.
How FCBB Helps You Buy
Due Diligence
Your advisor helps you identify opportunities that match your experience and objectives, then helps you dig into the numbers and operations so you can tell a strong business from a risky one before you commit capital.
Deal Structure
From the first offer through negotiation, your advisor helps you structure terms that protect your interests, including how the purchase is financed, what contingencies you keep, and how the transition is handled.
Building Long-Term Value
The aim is not just to close a deal. It is to help you acquire a business you can grow, so the investment supports the income and independence you are working toward.
We Have Been Through It
We experienced first hand just how challenging it is to buy a business
FCBB advisors understand firsthand how demanding it is to buy a business, because they have guided many buyers through it and have owned and operated businesses themselves.
Since 1994, the firm has helped countless buyers move from interest to ownership. That experience is what allows FCBB to give you straight answers: which opportunities are worth pursuing, which are not, and what it will realistically take to close.

PATH TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A Grounded Approach to a Big Decision
Buying a business is significant, and rushing it rarely ends well. A focused, confidential process backed by a national network of vetted buyers and listings gives you a more direct path to a business that fits, and fewer of the expensive detours that catch unprepared buyers. If you are exploring ownership, the first conversation costs nothing and will give you an honest read on where to start.
