Selling a business in Colorado
First Choice Business Brokers (FCBB) serves the western half of Colorado, the Western Slope, from Grand Junction and Montrose to Telluride, Durango, and the mountain resort towns. We do business across the Western Slope without a physical office, working with owners directly and confidentially wherever they are.
You work with a local advisor backed by a national network that puts your business in front of the right buyers. We handle the full process confidentially, from a clear-eyed valuation through preparation and a competitive sale, so employees, customers, and competitors do not find out until the right time.
We lead with preparation, and the results follow. About 87% of the businesses we take to market reach a successful close. On average they sell for 94% of asking price, compared with an industry average closer to 85%, and they close in about 4.7 months once on-market, compared with an industry range of 9 to 12 months.
We focus on businesses with roughly $1 million to $10 million in enterprise value, which generally corresponds to transactions in the $500K to $20M range. If your business sits in that range, you are in the right place.

How we work
First Choice Business Brokers (FCBB) was founded in 1994 by Jeff and Linda Nyman, who still own and guide the company today. The network now includes roughly 85 independent owner-operators and more than 300 agents across North America, all sharing one vetted pool of buyers. Since 1994 the network has facilitated around $15 billion in transactions. You work with a local advisor and get the reach of the full network behind you.
Our process follows three goals: valuation, preparation, and a confidential, competitive exit to the right buyer.
For the right businesses we also run a Strategic Buyer Search: proactive, confidential outreach to the buyers most likely to value your company, including strategic acquirers, private equity, and family offices. It brings the rigor normally reserved for deals over $20 million to Main Street.
When we share an Estimate of Value and a Suggested Asking Price, they are grounded in market data, not in what sounds good in a pitch. Neither of us gets paid until your business actually sells, so our incentive is the same as yours.
Serving Colorado
First Choice Business Brokers does not operate a physical office in Colorado. We serve the Western Slope as a remote service area, coordinating valuations, preparation, and confidential sales directly with owners.
