Testimonials

What our clients and customers say about us

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.,
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)

“Mark Doran DELIVERS! I shopped over a year for someone to sell my business, met with dozens of business brokers. When I met Mark, he was by far the most imformative & took tons of time to educate me through all the in's & outs. He seemed the most honest & direct & I truely believed he tells the truth, NOT just what you want to hear. I had great respect for the straight facts. When we decided to sell it & completed the paper work, it was UNDER CONTRACT IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK!!! FULL ASKING PRICE. I will use him again & I currently use him as a yearly business/tax consultant because he is so knowledgeable.”

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.

M. W.,
Your references indicated your company has a track record of satisfied clients; PUT ME ON THE LIST. Having sat on all sides of a closing table in my life, it is a sincere pleasure to watch a pro at work. Your pre-closing efforts to “dot the I’s and cross the T’s” prior to closing made an emotional time a pleasant experience. Thanks. (Seller)
J. S.,
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.

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.,
Choice Business Opportunities took on what I thought was going to be an impossible task selling my business. He was always looking out for my interests and trying to maximize the income from the sale. Mark got the job done in short order. The closing was simple and smooth and I was happy with the deal and so were the buyers. If I had another opportunity to sell, I would not hesitate to turn to Choice Business Opportunities. (Seller)
W. K.,

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.,
Our attempt to sell the business ourselves proved to be inadequate and frustrating. After months of confusion and misdirection, we contacted Mr. Doran at Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. To this day, we consider ourselves lucky we did. From the beginning to the end it was a pleasant and profitable experience. The cost and procedures of selling a business were clearly reviewed. Recommendations were made and explained, but the final decisions were left up to us. Every contingency was anticipated and planned for. The entire operation was professionally organized and conducted. The closing was amicable and effortless. The end result was a clean smooth sale with little or no problems. We are amazed at the quick resolution involving the entire transaction. Without hesitation we would use Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. again. (Seller)

“I have known and worked with Mark Doran for over 10 years. Having interfaced with many business brokers over the past 20 years, I can state that Mark is head and shoulders above most. His integrity is very high. He is very creative, diligent, and able to get "deals" done when others cannot. I would be pleased to talk to anyone about my business relationship with Mark.”
