Testimonials

“Kim is amazing. I highly recommend her. She is detailed, timely, client-focused, professional, awesome negotiator and easy to do business with. She will devise a marketing plan tailored to your business. We chose the right person to help us sell our business. | Shad, you and Jack made my job easy! You always kept in mind what was fair and reasonable for your buyer. And you always concerned yourselves with what was best, overall, for the health of the business. It was a true pleasure working with you! Thanks, Kimberley Rivero.“

“We purchased a business listed with Kim Rivero. Kim always took the time to answer our questions and was so helpful to us throughout the process. 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. She has even called to check in after closing which is completely above and beyond in our book. Thanks Kim! | Abe and Amy, you were great to work with. 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This year we sold our painting company, Sunshine Painting, after a 50 year run. Curtis Wray was indispensable for the sale of our legacy company. Curtis promoted our company and guided us through the entire process. The whole experience was a success.“

“We felt that we were in capable hands throughout the entire process. Thanks for your professional and pleasant service and the patience needed at times. We would certainly recommend you to others wanting to sell their business!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great job Phil. I really can’t thank you enough for your professionalism and insight.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Suzanne and Kim, Thanks for playing a key role in getting us across the finish line. Nicely done!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“
