What our clients and customers say about us

The purchase and sale of a business is a very complicated transaction requiring the structuring, supervision and management skills of an experienced professional. My firm has worked closely with Choice Business Opportunities and Mr. Doran for over 20 years, engaging in over 150 business acquisitions during that time.
B.S.,
Over months I encountered a number of brokers who were unsatisfactory. Others just didn’t provide good service. I called Mr. Doran at Choice Business Opportunities. He was honest. What a refreshing change. He was patient, always available for my questions and requests for information. Mark does everything possible to make a transaction a win-win for the seller and buyer. (Purchaser)
M. W.,
I am writing to let you know how great an experience it has been to work with you in the sale of my business. When I contacted you I was totally naïve about the process of selling my business. Someone less ethical could certainly have taken advantage of my lack of knowledge. Instead you immediately went to work on my behalf and educated me in the process as it unfolded. I felt very comfortable with the entire process and was pleased at the price you were able to secure for my company. Your knowledge of all types of businesses as well as your high standard of integrity combined to make it a surprisingly low stress event. Your support since the sale has been truly more than I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend your services to any business owner or prospective business owner. Thanks again for all of your support. (Seller)
M. C.,
I couldn’t have been more pleased or impressed with Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. although they were technically representing the seller I never felt there was any partiality. The intricacies of buying and selling the business were handled fairly and adeptly. If I had to single out what impressed me the most I would have to say that it was the refreshing frankness of our discourse. Mark is a straight shooter. He didn’t candy-coat the trials and tribulations of owning a small business; rather realistically explained the possible frustrations and satisfactions that accompany this sort of undertaking. I will certainly look forward to working with them in the future. (Purchaser)
A. M.,
Mr. Doran's transactions are characterized by an accurate business valuation, fair and incite-filled dealings with all parties, and comprehensive and complete attention to detail. The parties fully understand the nature and results of the transaction. Mark’s practice is based extensively on repeat and referral business. We are very appreciative of our long professional relationship with him and highly recommend using his services for conducting business acquisitions.
P. Nemkov, Attorney,
Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. was dedicated to making sure that I knew as much of the risks, trials, and tribulations of the purchase process as possible. They didn’t so much as try to turn me away, but taught me how it REALLY is. Even this cynical business owner believes that they actually cared about the long term success of the deal for both me and the previous owners. (Purchaser)
J. B.,
“I have had the privilege of working with Mark for over 25 years in the business acquisitions field. Mark has contributed a high degree of professionalism, competency and client satisfaction in each of his business transactions. I recommend clients to use Mark's expertise on a regular basis.”
P.N.,
Choice Business Opportunities has a reputation for a high degree of professionalism. I frequently recommend them to those of my clients who are in need of services in the area of the purchase and sale of businesses.
J.K.,
“I have purchased one business through Mark and hired his firm to represent me in the purchase of two others. He is a huge asset in either buying or selling a company. I would highly recommend Mark and his company to anyone looking to purchase or sell a business in Denver.”
M.B.,
"Mark Doran is impressively ethical. He asks a lot of questions, listens carefully and will only take on clients who are a good match for his expertise. Mark is one of the few people you can trust to do what is right for the business as well as what is right for the buyers and sellers."
T.S.,
Thank you for all the information and knowledge you passed on to me. I’ve visited a lot of brokers over the past year, but there is no one that I have me that has even come close to the level of effort and integrity that you put into your business. When the time comes to sell, I guarantee that you will be the first person that I call. (Purchaser)
S. P.,
“When you buy a business don't trust an evaluation from your friends, who are CPA/controller - hire a professional. Mark is one. His explanations, analysis and report were great. I believed his numbers. From my side it was well spent money by consulting with Mark"
I.G.,
“If you're looking for a no nonsense, tell it like it is, business broker, hire Mark. He worked hard, did a ton of research, and sorted candidates carefully to bring us qualified buyers to sell our company for a fair price. His experience and knowledge proved invaluable during the sales process. If I were listing a company for sale, I would hire Mark again. Next time I buy a company, Mark will be the first person I call. Give him a call, and you'll see what I mean.”
C.L.,
Buying and selling a business is frightening. The seller is vulnerable to disclosure to customers, competitors, and to the company staff. Buyers and seller might misrepresent themselves. It is a high stakes venture into the unknown. Two qualities in a broker are absolutely indispensable; Trust and Competence. I hold Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. to be first class in both qualities. I found them to be both trustworthy and competent professionals. What difference does it make which broker I choose? Well, the difference between a top dollar offer and a poor offer; between a wasted year at best (great loss at worse) and a successful transaction, between a buyer who is ill-suited to succeed and a buyer with a high probability for success; between buying a lemon with cooked books and buying a business with reasonable expectations for continued success. Of course, this all brings us back to Trust and Competence. When the time comes to buy or sell again, I’ll call Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. (Seller)
