Testimonials

What our clients and customers say about us

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.,
“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.”
L.T.,
“Mark is a merger and acquisition pro who skillfully handles all elements of a transaction. He works well with both buyer and seller and creates a win-win deal for all.”
T.B.,
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)
J. S.,
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.,
"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 Mark for saving me from buying a "bad" business. I am glad I had a chance to work with you and I am looking forward to working with you again. Marek K., Denver CO”
M.K.,
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.,
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.,
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 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.,
Mark provided a take charge service that takes the worry out of buying a business. In two transactions for my wife and I they applied a professional approach each time. We are very satisfied with their services. (Purchaser)
K. C.,
From the initial meeting through the follow-up conversations to after closing, Choice Business Opportunities has been a very professional organization providing honest opinions (both pros and cons) and strategies for the transaction all with a low pressure atmosphere. I would highly recommend anyone looking to sell or purchase a business to at least contact Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. before signing a contract with a broker.  You will be glad you did. (Seller)
C. H.,
“Mark is highly experienced, fair and an expert adviser. I have recommended him to several prospective clients.”
S.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.
