What our clients and customers say about us

“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.,
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 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.,
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.,
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 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.,
“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.,
“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.,
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.,
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,
“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.,
“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.,
“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 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)
