The small business sales market in Colorado is experiencing a dynamic phase, influenced by various economic factors and evolving buyer-seller sentiments. Understanding these trends is crucial for owners considering selling their business.
Buyer Activity
Overall, we are seeing more buyer activity currently than we have ever seen in our industry. We still have a strong wave of buyers coming off the generational crossroads pandemic events that are simply interested in doing something different. We have so many more good buyers than there are good businesses to sell as individuals make decisions about their careers and family’s future.
It’s very common for us to talk to buyers daily who express that they have always wanted to buy a business and now they are really going to do it. Or they do not want to go back to the office or back on a plane traveling 20 days a month. So that has led them to pursue entrepreneurship.
Additionally, there is increased activity from strategic buyers who are looking to grow through the acquisition of a successful company like yours. They find it more attractive to buy an existing business for growth in this market due to struggles with labor and other factors.
So, the market for selling a business is excellent right now.
