Testimonials

What our clients and customers say about us

“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.,
“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 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.,
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)

“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.,
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.,
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.

“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.”
B.F.,
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 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.,
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)

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,
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)
