What Colorado business owners say about CBG‘s approach to selling businesses. Listen to some of the 380 successful business transactions.
You Can’t Run Your Business Forever
At CBG, we sell businesses for 30-50% more than other brokers can get and have never breached confidentiality in over 25 years of selling businesses. Yes, over 300 business sales, not “1” complaint, or “1” confidentiality breach. Who else can say that?
Do you know what you what your business is worth? If not, we would like to learn more about your business and if you are interested, provide a free business valuation. This way you know what it’s worth now, or what you need to do to get the value you want.
Most business owners are comfortable selling or transitioning for the “right price and terms”. What are YOUR price and terms? If you got them in the next year or two, would you sell?
Do you know what value it needs to be to have enough money after taxes and fees to move on to something else someday or retire, whenever that may be?
Is your business ready to sell? Are YOU emotionally ready to sell now? Why do you want to sell? It should be for the “right” reasons, not just a knee-jerk reaction to a bad day/week.
Do you feel you have taken the company as far as you want to and think someone else may be better suited to grow it going forward?
How to transfer the business to a new owner without the loss of any customers, suppliers, and employees knowing how delicate and long-standing these relationships are?
How do you sell a business and keep it 100% confidential?
This is what we can do you for. Please email us at paul@companybroker.com (or call 303-522-2034) to learn more. We are 100% confidential and will work diligently to get you the business value that you expect.

Buyers Are Better At Buying, Then Sellers Are At Selling
Don’t let a buyer push you to sell for a low sales price based upon a multiple of the last few years. This will never get you the highest possible sales price. See what we can do for you.
Don’t sell your business based upon the “profits of the past” …sell the future potential. Simply put, you need to showcase all the reasons why the business has not performed well in recent years. This is exactly what we try to do at CBG.
We strongly believe it is foolhardy to establish the value of a business based upon a multiple of earnings. We have sold hundreds of business for a sales price substantially above a multiple of the past earnings.
In short, the highest possible value of a business will happen when you find that 1 buyer that sees to upside potential/growth of your business. Almost any business can be sold for some level of value, the trick is to find that 1 buyer that will pay the highest price who truly “gets it”, who sees the business NOT for what it made over the past 3-5years, but INSTEAD for what it could have made had the current owner done things differently.
Also, the broker needs to work closely with the seller to collect all the ideas or improvements that need to be in place to get the business to the next level. Maybe all the business needs are new energy or working capital and the current owner is financially tapped out and/or burned out. Once the buyer fully understands what the business “can be” going forward after these new ideas are implemented and renewed energy from the new owner is in place, then, buyers will always pay a substantial premium.
We use a very sophisticated method to quietly and privately bring to a given buyer all this to get them excited and willing to pay the seller a premium. We are experts at painting a mental picture in the buyer’s mind about what life would be like after the purchaser has bought the business and implemented all your suggested ideas to improve the business going forward. We do this through Video, a comprehensive write-up as well as detailed financial projections of the next 3-5 years after all the changes are installed and the business has a fresh new head of steam.
Remember, CBG and the seller’s interest are directly aligned to maximize the sales price because the more the seller gets, the more CBG gets.

Our success:
Statistics show that Business Brokers and Mergers & Acquisition specialists hold the following statistics on average when marketing and selling businesses:
- “Other Brokers” take 12 months to sell a business
- “Other Brokers” only sell 1-2 out of 5 businesses that they bring to market, on average
- “Other Brokers” suffer a 30% to 35% sale price reduction between listing and closing sales price. Here, the business owner suffers the most, in a reduced sales price
Over the years Company Brokers has enjoyed substantially better results:
There are 2 reasons for our consistent success in selling businesses ‘quickly and quietly’ and often for greater money vs. other business brokers and Mergers & Acquisitions professionals, and without breaching confidentiality during the sales process.
1. We already have thousands of buyer relationships. To be clear, we don’t represent buyers, but we have spent over 10 years cultivating over 6,000 buyer relationships throughout the country that have a strong interest and in buying a business. These buyers have contacted us on 1 or more occasions to review our business listings. They really like the sales packets that we create and often comment how helpful and useful our videos are to help them understand the business offering and quickly determine their interest level. This saves them tremendous time. Compare this approach to other brokers who “have to go out and get the buyers” for a new business listing. Instead, We can quietly and privately present your business to a select group of buyers that we already know are strongly interested to buy a business and move swiftly to close.
2. Other brokers often have to do 10 or more “showings” to get an offer for the business owner. We only do showings after a potential buyer has watched our comprehensive videos detailing the business for sale. This eliminates unnecessary foot traffic coming through your office that other brokers would be bringing in and saves you time.
This can also dramatically reduce the chance of breaching confidentiality. If we set a meeting for you with a buyer, we already know the buyer has seen the business video and learned much about YOU company than what other broker’s marketing packages typically provide. In the end, this ensures that YOU will have fewer showings, wasted less time, and with have a much better chance to meet a buyer that is a serious buyer about YOUR company!

Given time, the value of most businesses can be increased through some fairly easy steps. Also by making these adjustments to prepare your company for sale, the process will go quickly and smoothly. It is best to start preparing your company for sale at least 1-2 months before presenting it to buyers.
What distinguishes Company Brokers from other brokerage companies is that we have a private database of over 6,000 “current” buyers and private equity groups that stand ready to buy businesses. Because of this, we can often sell a business by creating a match with buyer candidates without having to “advertise” it which may breach confidentiality.
In addition to all of this, we supplement our efforts with marketing and advertising your business for sale. BUT we ALWAYS “mask” the business in such a way that buyers cannot determine that it is you that is selling UNTIL we disclose your company name; and this is ONLY after they sign out Confidentiality Agreements forms.
Often, we create a controlled auction among 3-5 buyers which allows us to sell your Denver business quickly and quietly, and for a higher price and better terms. Unlike other mergers and acquisition professionals who charge $10,000 to $50,000 or more before they attempt to sell your business, we typically charge no up-front fees. We earn a commission upon closing the sale.
WE typically do NOT charge up-front fees. We get paid WHEN YOU close the deal.
The goal and interests between the business owner and broker are completely aligned. You’ve worked many years to build the business!
