She helped us work through all the details in a very fair and positive manner for both parties. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

You both worked hard to make sure that everyone got a good deal. I can’t wait to see how you grow the business. I’m really excited for you. Thanks, Kim.“

Justin Hertz
Owner / Buyer - Excel Electric, Inc. - Longmont, CO
“I purchased my first business with the help of Brian Williams at Front Range Business, Inc. Brian was fantastic throughout the entire process. He helped through every step of the transaction. He was always happy to answers any questions or concerns that I had. He made sure that myself and the Sellers had everything we needed to make the right decisions and facilitated a great working environment for both parties. The worst part about the closing is that I won’t be chatting with him a few times a week now! Thanks for everything Brian, it was a great experience. Your professionalism and attitude made this an easy process.“

Brian Enyart
Owner / Seller - Castle Fresh LLC - Arvada, CO
“Working with David Yanish was so simple. During the sale of my business he walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions and gave feedback as we started engaging prospects. My business sold only a few weeks after listing it with him. So grateful for all his help!“

Paul and Janet Lee
Owners / Sellers - Sunshine Painting, Inc. - Frisco, CO

Tom Bradford
Owner / Buyer - Boulder Home Theater Company - Boulder, CO
“I recently purchased a business through Front Range Business, Inc. and worked with Kimberley Rivero. After 27 years in the workforce, this was my first time buying a business. I was thoroughly impressed with Kim from the beginning of the process. She consistently went above and beyond, and found solutions to the many unexpected challenges that came up on both the Buyer and Seller side. Kim was both a good listener and speaker, as well as having a large amount of contacts available who were professional and helped facilitate a seamless closing. In addition, Kim had the technical knowledge needed to understand the tech business I was buying as well as all the technical details involved in due diligence and closing. Thank you, Kim!“

Christopher Short
Owner / Buyer - Mark Graham Communications LLC - Denver, CO
“Kimberley Rivero is a consummate professional who represented her client impeccably and facilitated productive conversations and detailed due diligence. This is the second business I’ve purchased in the last eight years, and should I seek another, and when it’s time to sell this one, I would welcome the opportunity to work with Kim. She built trust with her client, and her candor in our discussions helped facilitate a seamless and quick transaction that was a win-win for both parties. I purchased the business 3.5 months ago and it is the business I envisioned and I expected. Thank you Kim.“

Chuck Hunker
Consultant - Boulder SBDC - Boulder, CO
“Hi Suzanne, I can’t tell you how many people I have referred to your workshops. I tell both start-ups and those looking for a strategic plan to take those workshops and if specifically thinking about selling to talk with you. I think everyone should know how to run their business with the end in mind and specifically how important it is to have Front Range Business, Inc. as the guide, because you are the best, the experts!“

Mark Graham
Owner / Seller - Mark Graham Communications LLC - Denver, CO
“I could not have asked for a better broker than Kim Rivero. She took the time to understand my business from the ground floor up and did a remarkable job of finding exactly the right buyer. I would use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her, Suzanne, and the Front Range Business, Inc. team.“

Chris Locke
Owner / Seller - Premier Glass Solutions, Inc. - Aurora, CO
“I hired Mr. Donald Hobbs, and Front Range Business, Inc., to handle the sale of my business this past year. I cannot overstate how exceptionally fortunate I was to have done so. Don was a consummate professional throughout the process. The 18-month process took me through highs, lows, and COVID, and Don was there at every turn with sage advice, solid business acumen, and plenty of possible buyers. He spent countless hours vetting each and every one of them and only approached me with those whom he felt would be a good fit for the company. He worked extremely hard to get to know me, how my company operated in the industry, and, most importantly, the culture that was, and needed to remain, an integral part of who we were. It was extremely important to me to find a buyer who would continue the business in a similar manner and Don understood that. As they say, he got it, and that is what he emphasized to every potential candidate, never wavering, and rejecting those whom he felt did not match up, even if it potentially meant “losing” a sale. Doing it right was more important than closing the deal and in the end closing the deal was done exactly right. From the time he introduced me to the eventual end buyer until the final signature at the closing table, Don was on top of everything for the benefit of both the buyer and me. From helping craft the LOI and APA to navigating the PPP world, he saved both of us large amounts of time, aggravation, and attorney fees by helping us work through all of the questions and concerns we both had regarding the transaction. Through months of weekly conference calls between myself, the buyer, and Don, and Don’s constant communication with the attorneys and his colleagues, we worked through everything the buyer and I both wanted and only then presented reviewable documents to the attorneys for their approval. No need for expensive and constant back and forth between attorneys as Don took the time and effort to manage all of that (and there was a LOT of time and effort required), making the entire transaction as painless as possible. What a treat and, I think, way above and beyond what would typically be expected. It was an incredible pleasure to have worked with Don and it is a pleasure to now be able to call him a good friend. I could not have possibly hired anyone better for the job. Thanks Don!“

Brian Carlson
Owner / Seller - Green Landscape Solutions LLC - Lafayette, CO
“Kim Rivero was an absolute pleasure to work with through the sale of my business. Selling my company was a very emotional and difficult process. In addition to being thoughtful, intelligent, and providing great guidance throughout the process, she also was compassionate and understanding of my emotions and at times acted as a counselor. I highly recommend Kim and the team at Front Range Business, Inc. to anyone looking to sell their company.“
Don, Jacque, & Julie Harrison
Owner / Seller - Colorado Acoustic Enterprises, Inc. - Frederick, CO
“Don & I want to thank you for all of your hard work and devotion to selling our Company. You are a very genuine person and treated the sale of our Company with personal care as though it was your own. You were very understanding of our emotional attachment. You felt that God was responsible for the deal we got. I believe with all my heart that God brought you to us and you were responsible for making the deal work with God by our sides. We are all still in a state of transition. I’m going to have questions coming up. It will be nice to have a conversation once I sort some things out. Again, thank you for all you have done. Very warm Regards,“

Jeff Watson
Buyer / Owner - Meat Cleaver - Denver, CO
“Bill Scott was a true professional. Could not have secured this deal without him. He kept our best interest in mind and handled the transaction smoothly, with an on time closing. Highly recommend him!“

Brian Pope
Owner / Seller - Colorado WaterJet - Berthoud, CO
“Having been through the process of buying a business and then selling one, I can honestly say that all brokers are not the same. Bill Scott and Front Range Business, Inc. did a superb job selling my business. I was really impressed on how they controlled the process and brought so many qualified buyers. We had over a dozen offers very soon. We eventually sold for a much higher price than we were listed at and to a great buyer. Bill met with buyers late at night and was always available when I needed him. His engineering mindset and industry knowledge really came through when we were dealing with technical buyers; we negotiated skillfully together. I’ll be using Bill again to help find businesses to acquire.“

Fred Thrall
Owner / Seller - Fred Thrall, LLC - Boulder, CO
“This is to acknowledge that I engaged Paul Chambliss from Front Range Business, Inc. as a transaction broker for the sale of my business assets to Building Inspection Services, LLC. “I am happy to state that I was extremely pleased with the service you offered. In my opinion, you represented both sides fairly, and were very instrumental in our coming rapidly to an agreement. Even though this was a small transaction for you, I felt that you gave it your full attention and treated both parties as if they were long-standing clients. I would be very pleased to recommend you highly to anyone who may require business brokerage services.“

Melissa Fioravanti, Brittany Hoegerl
Owner / Seller - Center Of Attention - Boulder, CO
“We wanted to express our extreme gratitude to Don Hobbs for guiding us through the sale of Center of Attention. You were the best ever to work with, you prepared us every single step of the way. Your ability to explain the process in terms we could understand, and then have the patience to answer every single (at times probably ridiculous) question we had, did not go unnoticed. This process was smooth and painless because of you.“

Chad Christy
Owner / Seller - Great Western Lodging, LLC - Breckenridge, CO
“Thom and I first discussed a business value for my property management company ten years ago. Ten years later, and after a couple of interim meetings, we decided to launch to market. Thom’s skills in preparing for this effort were quickly evident once we began meeting with buyers. We generated multiple offers, and his management of the due diligence process was instrumental to keeping this effort on task. I’ve been very successful in business, but the process of selling my business was a new and unique experience. Thom expertly guided me through this process, and our team approach made for a quick, successful sale! I’d recommend Thom to any business owner looking to sell their business. Not only did we achieve my goals, we had a good time achieving them! Honestly, without Thom handling this deal, I wouldn’t have made it to the finish line. I really appreciate how skilled Thom was at navigating a transaction like this!“

Jeff Lofgren
Owner / Seller - A1 Discount Water Inc. - Boulder, CO
“I have to tell you how much I enjoyed working with Phil Loughman. There are some things in life that you have never had to deal with. One of those is selling the business that you have had for 26 years. When I was faced with this, I interviewed a couple of brokers, but everything pointed to Phil and his experience. He was able to step me through the process and explain things as he was doing it. There were a couple of times where the deal was going south and he was able to use his professional skills to keep it on track. I highly recommend Phil Loughman.“

Brandon Auger
Owner / Seller - Vail Cabinets - Edwards, CO
“My wife and I hired Thom Beckett to sell our Kitchen & Bath business near Vail, CO. We wanted to work with a broker who lived and worked in the mountains, and who had experience selling mountain-town businesses, which appeal to a unique set of buyers and present their own set of challenges. Hiring Thom to help us sell our business was a fantastic decision. Simply put, he is uncommonly good at what he does. Thom is a professional in the truest sense. He’s knowledgeable, organized, well-connected within the resort communities, and demonstrates excellent judgment. He’s extremely responsive and communicative but not overbearing. Thom helped to vet all the potential buyers who inquired about our business and only presented legitimate, high-quality prospects to us. My wife and I only had to speak with two prospective buyers during the entire process and both ended up presenting offers. The process, from the day we went to market to the day we closed, took less than seven months. Since minimizing the duration of the process was as important to us as getting a fair offer, we were thrilled to have achieved both. I would hire Thom again in a second, and I would recommend him for anyone who is looking for a broker who knows how to manage the entire process, from developing marketing material, to vetting and educating buyers, to organizing and managing the legalities and procedures of closing. It was such a relief to know our Broker was taking care of it without us having to prod or micromanage. It allowed us to focus on our business, which from a performance perspective was in its most critical year. It was a pleasure working with Thom and I genuinely hope to do it again someday.“

Jeff Lofgren
Owner / Seller - A1 Discount Water Inc. - Boulder, CO - Now Enjoying Retirement!
“I wanted to take a minute to thank Front Range Business, Inc. for the experience of being able to work with Phil Loughman. Selling a business from my end created a lot of nervousness as it’s something that you only do one time in life. Phil was able to not only put nerves at ease, but he was able to explain the steps as they were happening. It is hard to find someone of Phil’s caliber who has your best interests in mind and is able to obtain great results. I not only would recognize your Company as an expert in buying or selling a Business, but I would highly recommend Phil as the gentleman that you want in your corner.“

Michael Shea
Owner / Seller - Mike O’Shays Restaurant and Ale House - Longmont, CO - Now Retired!
“From our first conversation through the closing on the sale of my restaurant and building, Front Range Business, Inc. and Don Hobbs had the experience and resources to bring qualified buyers and sellers together. The attention to detail, research, and follow up through the whole process were exceptional.“

June D’Apuzzo
Owner / Seller - Brava Wine Distributors - Westminster, CO
“Thank you Front Range Business, Inc. for helping me to successfully sell my business. I highly recommend Front Range Business, Inc. if you are considering selling. It can be a daunting process selling your business, but Suzanne De Lucia helped me from beginning to end. Suzanne knew it was important to find the right buyer to take over my business, and through her patience and perseverance, she found the perfect match in a timely matter. Suzanne was there for both parties when needed to help make sure it was a smooth transition. It was a real pleasure working with Suzanne De Lucia.“

Sandy Christianson
Owner / Buyer - Brava Wine Company - Westminster, CO
“Suzanne De Lucia from Front Range Business, Inc. was outstanding to work with. Purchasing a business can be extremely overwhelming, but Suzanne was there every step of the way. Experienced and caring, she kept us on task for an on‐time, successful closing.“

James “Jim” Olin, CRE, CRB

“Thom, I stay only in this industry, and you are the first business broker who gets it. List some more!!! You are excellent.“

Dennis Leifheit
Owner / Seller - Antlers Liquor & Wine Cellar - Frisco, CO
“Want to sell your business? Thom Beckett is your broker! Thom of Mountain Ghost, LLC/Front Range Business, Inc. matched the profile I was looking for in my buyer. It wasn’t easy finding a buyer for a medium to large retailer in a small county dependent on tourism. Thom secured the buyer from the local population, a strong benefit to a business that has been serving the community for nearly forty years. Thom, a seller’s agent, worked closely with the buyer, who was not represented by a broker. While representing my interests, he was understanding of the buyer’s needs, resulting in a sale by which both parties were pleased. I could not have sold my business for the price or to the buyer without Thom’s leadership, negotiating and technical skills, and his understanding of my business. He did a great job.“

Mark Glenn
Co-Founder / Seller - Conscious Coffees - Boulder, CO
“Working with Kimberley Rivero and having the support of the whole team at Front Range Business, Inc. turned out to be a much greater experience than most are capable of imagining. I feared the whole process of letting go of our 20 year-old business and handing it over to the right people, as well as getting a satisfactory return. Kimberley guided and supported us in so many areas that I didn’t expect to even deal with. Without her wisdom and intuition, and genuine partnership, we would have been emotionally overwhelmed. Instead, the whole process turned out to be a fantastic journey. I learned so much and loved being part of the team. Honestly, the only downside was the turn-around took so much less time than expected that we didn’t get to spend more time with Kimberley at or away from the strategy table! Again, thank you Kimberley & the Front Range Business, Inc. team.“

Shannon Phelps
Owner / Seller - The SeaCrest Group - Louisville, CO
“Great job Phil. I really can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and insight.“

Jon Chally
Owner / Buyer - Norris Concrete Contractors, LLC - Boulder, CO
“It was a pleasure to work with Front Range Business, Inc. Phil and the rest of the team were very professional and helpful with all aspects of the acquisition process. It was very helpful to have references for bankers and accountants. It was also helpful to have a detailed checklist for the closing process and regular meetings to keep on track. Thanks for the good experience!“

Darrel Norris
Owner / Seller - Darrel Norris Concrete - Boulder, CO
“I want to convey to you my profound thanks for our relationship through the years. You are in no small way a very key part of my successful 40 years. Yesterday, you were again key to a successful transition into retirement. I want to wish you success in your new career. I am glad I got to be a part of this new beginning for you.“

Roy McCutchen
CEO / Seller - Photo Craft, Inc. Boulder, CO
“I feel our business was a complicated business to communicate and hence, to sell. Henry was able to do that well and we found the right buyer. He was conscientious in managing the transaction, often going above and beyond to keep things on track. It is clear to me that we would not have been able to have the same results without Henry Tiberi and Front Range Business, Inc. representing us.“

Sean Maher
Owner / Seller - Taos Mountain Outfitters - Taos, NM
“Don Hobbs and the team at Front Range Business, Inc. were an amazing resource during the entire process of selling our business. I thought their main job was finding a buyer but that was only the start. There were far more details and hurdles than I ever imagined and Don kept both sides on track and moving forward. He was present at every meeting and on every phone call and made sure the tone stayed positive when negotiations got tricky and patience was tested. We would not have found our buyer without Front Range Business, Inc. and we more than likely would not have closed the sale without Don’s guidance from start to finish.“

Derrick & Jenise Packer
Buyers / Owners - Interiors By Design, LTD - Breckenridge, CO
“We would like to say that Thom was a pleasure to work with on our side of the transaction. We will certainly recommend him to anyone we know who may be looking to buy or sell a business. Excellent job Thom and thank you!“

Carre Warner, Cindy Gray, Associate ASID
Owners / Sellers - Interiors By Design, LTD - Breckenridge, CO
“We listed our business with Thom once we decided to sell. He did a great job helping us to collect all of the relevant data to understand the worth of our business. After that, he was great at listing our company online and filtering through the inquiries he received. Once we found an interested party, Thom guided both sellers and buyers through to a successful close. Without Thom, we would not be retired! Thanks, Thom!“

Suzanne Berry
Buyer / Owner - Harvest Wine & Spirits, Inc. - Boulder, CO
“Kim and Suzanne, of Front Range Business, Inc., were incredibly professional, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable through every step of the business purchase. Their advice is solid and made me consider and avoid potential pitfalls of the business purchase process. For a first time business owner, I found the business purchase process relatively stress-free, thanks to Kim and Suzanne’s preparedness and attention to both the buyer and the seller.“

Chris Randazzo
Founder & Managing Partner - Main Line Equity Partners - Acquiror of Tensitron, Inc.
“Suzanne and Kim, Thanks for playing a key role in getting us across the finish line. Nicely done!“

Shelli Nelligan-Anderson
Owner / Seller - Stems Garden Design & Maintenance - Denver, CO
“Don, thank you for reaching out. Yesterday was actually a big day! Dustin and I signed all of the agreements in order for him to buy Stems. We reached an average price based on the 5 valuations that you provided us. All of your hard work, information and time was amazing at helping this contract and business agreement come to fruition. Thank you again Don!“

John A. and Geraldine I. DiPalma
Former Owners of Golden Bear Bikes - Broomfield, CO
“Deciding to sell Golden Bear Bikes store was a difficult decision, since so much love and time was spent to build this Broomfield bicycle community store. Our staff had become family and we wanted to be sure all would continue in a positive direction. Selecting Front Range Business, Inc., in Boulder, to help us find the right buyer for our family business was a great decision. Suzanne M. De Lucia, President of Front Range Business, Inc., and her team, especially Kimberley Rivero, are relationship driven professionals that have high attention to detail and work diligently to ensure a positive outcome for their clients. Front Range Business, Inc., went above and beyond our expectations to screen, interview, and personally became involved with this business sale from beginning to end. They constantly followed up on items and helped us stay on track, along with the bank, lawyers and buyer. We never had to worry that something was slipping through the cracks on all ends. We highly recommend them without hesitation and especially wish to thank them for all the time and effort as well as the celebration after the closing.“

Sylvia Bernstein
Seller / Owner - The Aquaponic Source
“Having Henry, and the team at Front Range Business, Inc., manage the sale of our company was the best decision we could have made. They took care of all the details so we could just focus on keeping the value of our business up during the sale. Everything went smoothly, and we are now happily retired! We couldn’t recommend them more highly.“

Tom Ryan
Owner
“Henry Tiberi was my guide through uncharted waters selling my machine shop. I had no idea about all the necessary steps involved. Henry brought a buyer to the table, guided me along, and with his knowledge of accounting helped me with many difficult topics during negotiations and true-up. Without Front Range Business, Inc. and Henry, I would have ended up with far less money and probably would have ended up going to auction. Thank you, Henry.“

Chuck and Charlie Boyer
Sellers / Owners - Happy Valley Children’s Ranch Preschool - Arvada, CO
“Henry, we want you to know how much we appreciate all the hard work you put into the sale of Happy Valley and working with us. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride for sure but we always felt extremely confident and comfortable with your knowledge and abilities.“

Erin Kimmett, Dave Kimmett
Sellers / Owners - Eco Enclose, LLC - Longmont, CO
“Thanks for all both of you have done during this process, Suzanne & Kim. You’ve been the best — we’re so happy that we chose Front Range for the sale of Eco Enclose.” The two of you have made the process refreshingly smooth, in additional to being just plain fun & fine people to work with. Thus, sincerely, thanks“

Brian Wood, Kimberly Boos
Sellers / Owners - Tee & Cakes, LLC - Boulder, CO
“Listing our business with Front Range Business, Inc. was a smart move. The resources provided were substantial and the expertise offered allowed us to navigate the tricky waters of a business sale with ease and confidence.“

Ryan Fensler
Buyer / Owner - Touching Hearts At Home South Metro - Englewood, CO
“I would like to provide a professional reference for Suzanne De Lucia with Front Range Business, Inc. Suzanne recently helped me with the acquisition of a company in the Denver area and I was very impressed. First, Suzanne was very professional and responsive during the entire process. There were times during the process that required communication very quickly and Suzanne was always able to meet our needs. Second, Suzanne provided a great deal of knowledge from other transactions and helped provide insight that I might not have considered with the business acquisition. Third, Suzanne was a great collaborator during the entire process and she worked in unison with my attorney, the Seller’s attorney and other stakeholders that were involved in the process. Finally, Suzanne was someone that I could trust and I felt comfortable during the entire process with my recent business acquisition. I would be happy to refer Suzanne to any other individual that is purchasing or selling a business. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.“

Dan Foster
Owner - Mountain Chalet - Colorado Springs, CO
“Thom Beckett specializes in outdoor shops and came to me with a buyer. He recently was involved in the sale of Neptune Mountaineering in Boulder, The Trailhead in Buena Vista, and Mountain Outfitters in Breckenridge, among others. I knew how to run a business but not how to sell it, and Thom was a huge help. I would definitely suggest him. He is easy to work with, knows all the details involved in a sale, and made it a smooth process. He used to own a bike shop so he knows retail.“

Scott Kummel
Principal and Director of Franchise Sales - Touching Hearts At Home - Minneapolis, MN
“Thank you Front Range Business, Inc. and Suzanne for finding such a great buyer for Touching Hearts at Home South Metro. Ryan’s extensive industry background in home care as well as both his passion and business acumen are the perfect attributes to take the business forward and strengthen our brand in the Colorado market. We’re definitely using you for all of our franchise sales in your state.“

Jesse B. “Bernie” Meyer
Owner - ABC Auto Body Of Boulder LLC
“I met Suzanne De Lucia, of Front Range Business, Inc., through a mutual friend, and felt very comfortable with her and her business. Recently, I had been approached by a potential buyer, and I knew who to call. Suzanne and her team did a wonderful job, looking out for both me and the buyer, and covering every aspect of the business transfer. It was a Win-Win situation, as well it should be. I highly recommend Suzanne and Front Range Business, Inc. to anyone who could use their service.“

William L. Marriner
Owner - The World Outdoors
“Suzanne De Lucia of Front Range Business, Inc. recently sold my company, RLT, Inc. dba The World Outdoors, an operator of active tours in the U.S. and internationally. Suzanne wrote an accurate and market-appealing offering memorandum, handled inquiries from nearly a hundred interested parties and ultimately narrowed the field to six serious buyers. We ultimately received two offers and sold the Company for a little more than my asking price in an all cash transaction. Suzanne was professional, prompt and a joy to work with throughout the four-month process and saved me many, many hours of effort. I cannot recommend her highly enough.“

Mark Bodmer
Owner - Handyman Matters of Boulder & Louisville
“I am now a new business owner thanks to Bill Scott and Front Range Business, Inc. After finding my new business listing on their website by simply using a Google search, I contacted Bill and he walked me through every aspect and requirement. Since Bill was representing the seller, I felt I needed to find someone to represent my side of the sale. Bill not only was receptive to this, he still continued to provide me with valuable information always making me feel he was fair and balanced throughout. During due diligence, having many inputs from a lawyer, an accountant, and my own broker, Bill met every single one of my requests reliably. He was incredibly important at keeping this first time buyer confident and at ease throughout what is a stressful process. If I were to ever sell my new business, I wouldn’t hesitate to call Bill Scott to represent me.“

Robert Parker
Owner / Seller - Handyman Matters of Boulder & Louisville
“I am very pleased with the care and support I received from Bill Scott and the team at Front Range Business, Inc. Having tried a few other options before turning to FRB, I am very happy to say that the sale of my business went very well and is now completed. The single element that got the deal done was Bill Scott’s follow up on the leads that their internet posting brought in. As a former business owner, Bill was able to speak with the prospective buyers in terms that they responded well to. Activity was high thorough the process, yet Bill kept me in the loop on activity with each of the prospects. I would recommend Front Range Business, Inc to anyone that is considering selling their business. From pricing the company to closing the deal, I felt I was treated fairly and with integrity.“

Lynn Dexter, Patrick Gibbons
Owners - Tandem Cycle Works of Colorado, Inc.
“Henry, thanks for all of your hard work. Pat and I both feel that this experience was a good one and realize how much you did for us. I cannot imagine trying to go this alone!“

Barbara MacCambridge, Greg MacCambridge
Owners - Sienna Sky Jewelry
“Suzanne and Paul, working with you has been great since day one. I’ve found you both to be very knowledgeable, informative, easy to understand and very accessible. You were always there to answer my many questions and to counsel me on all the decisions I needed to make without ever making me feel pressured. I can’t imagine how difficult it would have been to navigate the due diligence process without all the resources and assistance you provided. I have already recommended FRB to a friend of mine who is thinking about selling. Thank you for all your help and support!“

Greg Johnson
Buyer - Summit Kitchen & Bath Outlet, Inc.
“Thom, I wanted to let you know just how greatly I appreciate all that you have done for me, not only in facilitating a life changing event for me but helping me transition into a new state! Without your guidance, perseverance, and personal attention along the way I don’t think I would have ever felt comfortable enough to have made this move, which would have been unfortunate. This would have been most unfortunate as this has been the best thing I have done in decades. Thank you so much for all you have done!“
Lincoln Franke

“Thank you Suzanne and Thom for all of your efforts on this challenging project with all of its different facets and moving parts. I can say without a doubt you have exceeded my expectations and did a great job.“
Martin Hammer
Owner - Restaurant 4580
“Suzanne was a pleasure to work with. Her marketing of my restaurant eventually resulted in multiple offers. She asked questions that helped me to have the clarity to make the best decision. Suzanne also made certain that all deadlines were met. This allowed for a very easy closing. I would use her again.“
Ron & Patti Weinstein
Owners - Roxy Boutique
“We recently decided to sell our business, and we were referred to Thom Beckett as a broker. We interviewed him, as well as other brokers, and decided on using Thom. We made an excellent choice to go with him. We had a complex four store operation, and Thom was focused, efficient, and a “deal maker”. Thom was there every step of the way to help us sell the business. He has a good understanding of the emotional side as well as the financial side of selling and buying a business. He kept everyone focused. We are now referring clients to him, and we would use Thom again if the opportunity presented itself.“
Bill Scott
Owner - Nationwide Lifts
“After interviewing many different Brokers, we chose Suzanne De Lucia at Front Range Business, Inc. We are very glad we did – the sale went very well and we are thrilled. I’ve been involved in many business sales, but this was the first where I was the major beneficiary – and after seeing so many deals go “sideways”, I really wanted a positive experience. There was just too much at stake. I only had one business to sell so I had to do it right. Suzanne was diligent and professional throughout the process – she never lost enthusiasm. She was instrumental in finding a Buyer that we all believed would succeed and keep all the existing employees and vendors happy. I’ve always felt that our success in business was attributed to hiring great people and choosing great partners – she proved that to be true in selling a business, as well. “This has been a wonderful experience.“
Jonathan Watkin
Owner - Star Graphic Supplies
“The sale of my small business was handled with all the care and attention to detail that I was hoping for. Their integrity was plainly evident and my trust well placed. A job well done. Thanks Suzanne.“
John Kruse & Deb Grass
Owners - ROCK’n & JAM’n
“From our initial meeting, you impressed us with your professionalism and knowledge of buying and selling a recreation-based business. Because there was limited data on our specific industry, you exceeded our expectations in generating a solid business valuation by doing extensive research and backing up the results in a logical and precise manner. Once the initial paperwork was complete and after meeting with the potential buyers, we knew that we couldn’t be in better hands. Your detailed understanding of all aspects of the sale allowed us to proceed at very impressive pace given the fact that we set a very aggressive time frame to close. Throughout the process, your communication and detailed explanations kept us continually well-informed in addition to preparing us for the inevitable “bumps in the road” that come with any negotiation. Suffice it to say, there were no surprises. Although our deadline seemed like a herculean effort, you did a stellar job in successfully handling all aspects of the sale. It is without hesitation that we would highly recommend you to other individuals interested in selling their business. Thank you so much for all your efforts to create a truly incredible experience“

“With me approaching 70 and my business approaching 40, I promised my wife that I’d try to sell the business in a timely fashion. Suzanne and Thom were wonderful to work with, managing all aspects of the sales process with leadership and professionalism. They were always in touch and ready to help with anything at all. Their experience in the specialty retail world as well as with Colorado businesses was instrumental in reaching a successful sale to a buyer who is positioned to continue my legacy and take the business to the next level. They have gone out of their way to help out even after the sale. I recommend them to any business owner looking forward to their own transition.“

“Suzanne and Thom were a pleasure to work with. They were organized and straightforward in their approach. They facilitated a quick and smooth transaction, and were candid and positive throughout. As the buyer, I was impressed that while representing their client extremely professionally, they were open-minded and very collaborative in their approach. I’d recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy a business.“
Chris Tennal
Owner - Mountain Outfitters
“In the last 6 years, we have both purchased and successfully sold a business. In that process, we had the unique experience of being on both sides of the table with Thom Beckett. Buying our business, we were very impressed by Thom’s transparency of the purchasing process and willingness to work with and enable a novice purchasing team. When it came time to sell our business, we knew that no other broker would do. As we approached our window for taking our business to market, Thom again enabled us with the template we needed to set the stage for a successful outcome. I can’t recommend his services highly enough.“

“Suzanne, just wanted to say thank you for the great work you did on behalf of the Colorado Chautauqua Association in helping us find and sign a new operator for the historic Chautauqua Dining Hall. Your knowledge of the market, judgment about how to proceed with outreach re: the unique opportunity, professionalism and friendliness in interacting with prospects helped us connect with a pool of diverse and well-qualified candidates. Your experience and knowledge of our needs and aspirations aided evaluation and selection of an operator that appears to be a great fit for our needs – and vice versa. I hope we will have another opportunity to work together, and I definitely will recommend you to others who may need a really terrific business broker“

“It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Michael Marks, whom I recently engaged to sell my business. From our first meeting Michael amazed me at his thorough knowledge of the selling of a business. As I had never sold a company before, I appreciated Michael’s patience with my lack of knowledge in this arena. He walked me through the process step by step and was positive about the prospect of pulling off a sale despite the very tight time frame I gave him to accomplish that.” “He also made certain he thoroughly understood my business which helped both expand and improve the quality of potential buyers available to me. Michael was always highly professional, ethical and responsive. He remained on top of everything from the search for sound prospects to the actual negotiation and contractual processes.” “Michael’s excellent communication skills and great people skills played a major roll in the sale of my company. Michael is well skilled in all aspects of his profession, especially evaluating potential buyers and negotiating all aspects of the deal. He was also quite enjoyable to work with.” “I firmly believe that it was a result of Michael’s expertise, experience, and hard work that my business was sold within the narrow time restrictions he was given. I highly recommend Michael Marks to anyone who is considering selling a business.“

“Suzanne was a real pleasure to work with. Her ability to be candid, upbeat, positive, yet realistic all at the same time, cannot be easy. She maintained a sense of humor and perspective throughout our process, and I felt like a had made a new friend. I felt respected for what I had accomplished, and for what we were trying to accomplish. Her advice was solid, and I soon learned I could trust her judgment. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which shines through. I would highly recommend her to anyone trying to sell a business!“
Ed Eggers
President and CEO - Sunfield Natural Foods, Inc.
“In 2012, our company decided to diversify and enter into the natural foods business segment. Front Range Business, Inc., and Suzanne De Lucia in particular, represented the seller. Suzanne managed the transaction in an extremely professional manner, is an extremely good communicator, and was successful in keeping all parties on track for a mutually beneficial conclusion.” “Suzanne commanded an extremely high knowledge of the industry while also interweaving the expectations of a larger buyer with the passion of an owner/seller. The level of professionalism, experience, integrity, and leadership shown by Suzanne is rare today and I would not hesitate to recommend Front Range Business, Inc. to a friend or use their services again in the future.“
Tom Baldwin
Owner - Painting Plus Of Boulder, Inc.
“I am extremely pleased to be writing this comment on my experience with Front Range Business, Inc. I found Suzanne and her entire staff to be highly professional from the beginning to the end of our work together. She sold my business for the asking price we mutually set and it was fully within the time frame one expects for this kind of endeavor.” “As a business person, I found it refreshing that Suzanne was straight forward and candid concerning the various options and prospects we were faced with during this process. There is no doubt that her years of experience helped smooth the rougher edges during negotiations and the final closing process. I couldn’t recommend this firm enough for anyone contemplating buying or selling a business.“

“Suzanne and Matt, I want you both to know I really appreciate how you stuck with this long process. There were so many times when you could have said “forget it!” But you hung in there and showed the utmost patience. Your mediating through thick and thin was instrumental in the success of this sale.” “You’re both a class act and do not ever hesitate to use me as a referral. You can now say you know the car business in your resume and it’s the dang truth!” “Thank you, thank you again.“

“The element of efficiency comes to mind when conducting business through Front Range Business, Inc. My company, Royal Merchandising, searched out an inspiring company in which to conduct business with and we found it with Matt Williams’ help. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. I have the utmost admiration for large corporations that take the time and effort to support, promote and encourage small companies to expand. The experience has been gratifying to say the least. The service provided has been refreshingly cooperative, sincere and most satisfying. I look forward to purchasing our second, third and fourth franchise in the near future. It’s a fantastic Pop-ortunity!“

“Suzanne De Lucia and the Front Range Business, Inc. team were a great asset in helping me to accomplish my business sale goals in terms of both the time frame I desired and in the price range I wanted. I had worked on the project unassisted for six months without success and found the direction and resources I needed through this capable firm. As an added benefit, Front Range Business, Inc. recommended an expert who understood the uniquenesses of my industry and helped me to structure my transaction and save a substantial amount in taxes.“
Bill Riss
Owner - Announcement Management Services, LLC
“I recently used Matt Williams and Front Range Business, Inc. to handle the sale of my business. Matt was very diligent and professional in handling the negotiations leading up to closing. I had considered the option of handling the sale of the business myself but after going through the process I am convinced that using Front Range enabled me to get more for the business than I would have on my own. Front Range provided valuable guidance through the contract process and ultimately the closing went very smoothly. The overall experience went very well and I would highly recommend Front Range Business, Inc. to anyone considering a sale or an acquisition of a business.“
