What our clients and customers say about us

Choice Business Opportunities, Ltd. helped me sell a business for my client’s estate. They were knowledgeable, professional, courteous and responsive. With their negotiation skills and transaction knowledge we were able to structure a transaction, which not only brought top dollars to the estate but solved other family and estate issues. I am certain I could never have done this without their professional services. (Seller)
M. Bailey CPA,
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.,
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.,
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)

“Mark did an excellent job in selling and marketing my business. He was spot on with evaluations, time frame and knowledge of my business. I still meet with Mark from time to time for some expert advice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARK.”
D.H.,
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.,
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 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.,
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.,
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)

“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.,
“I definitely recommend Mark to those wanting to sell their business. His realistic approach to valuation and straight-forward common-sense approach gets the job done. Because of this he was able to sell my retail business in a declining market. Additionally, as a commercial real estate agent I only refer clients to people that I trust will be professional and ethical"
L. B.,
“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.,
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.,
“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"
