“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!”
