    With over 20 + years experience in business, I bring a fresh perspective on the ever-changing retail market, from next-generation marketing, to increasing sales and customer traffic. Having been in the firearms and class III firearms business for over two decades means I am no stranger to the BATFE, and the maze of requirements and licenses for any prospective FFL dealer or range owner. I pride myself on providing the service and communication that is often found lacking in other brokers. I believe that although the process of buying or selling a business can be daunting, it is my job to make the process smooth, from finding the right opportunity, to making sure the financing fits, and making sure any licensing or lease issues are handled quickly and correctly to avoid any delays. The process is a learning experience and quite often life changing, so I am here to help, guide, and to make sure everything is handled properly.

    Bradley Ryan Serving El Paso County, CO

    I’m a business broker dedicated to helping owners successfully transition out of the businesses they’ve worked hard to build, while connecting buyers with opportunities that create long-term value. Before entering business brokerage, I spent over 30 years in corporate leadership, serving as a Vice President of Operations for a Fortune 100 company. In that role, I managed large-scale operations, oversaw billions in assets, and carried full P&L responsibility. That experience shaped how I approach every transaction today—with a strong focus on financial performance, operational efficiency, and strategic positioning. I understand that selling a business is more than a transaction—it’s often one of the most important financial and personal decisions an owner will ever make. My role is to guide that process with professionalism, confidentiality, and a clear strategy to maximize value while minimizing disruption. I work closely with sellers to prepare their businesses for market, identify the right buyers, and negotiate deals that reflect the true worth of what they’ve built. For buyers, I provide insight, analysis, and support to ensure they are making informed decisions and acquiring businesses that align with their goals. My approach is straightforward: build trust, communicate clearly, and deliver results. Whether you’re ready to sell now or just beginning to explore your options, I’m here to help you navigate the process with confidence.
