As we recommend, it is always important for the business owner to ask themselves many critical questions before committing to selling their companies. Such questions include: 

Given the current economic conditions, should I sell my Colorado business now?

What exactly is Pre-Sale planning? How critical is it to selling my business?

As Company Broker Group knows, you want to not only sell your firm for the best price to the best buyer, but you also want to get your company sold quietly and quickly. This being the case, owners should always ask themselves “How do I avoid the emotional rigors some owners face during the selling process?”

What length of time is needed to adequately prepare my business to sell for the greatest value?

How much is my business worth, particularly with the ever-changing economy and marketplace?

When selling my business, how do I keep the process completely confidential?

How important is it for me to hire a broker, CPA, consultant and/or attorney to prepare my business for sale?

As Company Broker Group knows, the majority of business owners are relatively comfortable selling their companies for the right terms and price. Owners should ask “What are my expected price and terms?”

How is a company accurately valued, especially given often turbulent market conditions?

Have I taken my company as far as I wanted it to go, and/or is another owner better suited to keep it growing in the future?

Should I consider a merger and acquisition and business brokers company, or should I just list my company on my own?




How long will it take to sell my company once I’ve decided to sell?



How do I go about minimizing the tax consequences of the up and coming transaction?

There are many questions to ask before making a commitment to selling your business. A Company Broker Group professional can help you before, during and after the business selling process.
