About the Company
"Sell your business with someone who has walked the path of business ownership, knows the struggles and sold businesses of their own"
At Blake Business Brokerage, we believe that selling or buying a business is more than a transaction—it is a critical life transition that requires vulnerability, trust, guidance and a strategic plan of action. Getting guidance from an expert who has sold several of their own personal businesses is the best path forward for you and your business..
Your business didn’t come this far to only go this far. Your goal is not only to get paid but to make your legacy live on long after you have moved on. You didn’t pour your whole heart and life into your business to get a check and watch it die. Let us help you find the right buyer who can take on your business, and help smooth out the process so there are no surprises for all parties involved.
Broker Biography
Introduction
Established by Ryan Blake—a serial entrepreneur, with over 15 years of his own start-ups, a UTAH State MBA graduate, commercial pilot, and experience licensed MT Realtor—”our firm provides a level of expertise that goes beyond typical business brokerage service”. Having successfully built and sold three manufacturing companies of his own, Blake understands the "win-win” art of the deal of selling businesses and the associated hardships of selling and ownership, having worn each of the various hats himself as an entrepreneur. “Having an expert to help with the business sales process, bringing the right buyer, will be well worth the cost paid to any broker. Our services pay for themselves well above and beyond what the owners would normally get when selling the businesses themselves. We give business owners the guidance they need to minimize legal exposure and be in control of the business sales process. Business owners who try and sell their businesses on their own 9 times out of 10 realize it's worth paying an expert to bring the right buyer and get better offers in a shorter period of time than they could get for their life's work. Owners also realize we have their best interest at heart and know we are their advocate and we are motivated to negotiate for the top dollar. Having a premium Business Brokerage like Blakes prevents major transactional mistakes and legal mishaps, saving you major expenses, closing fees, saving you additional time, work, money and creating overall best outcomes for everyone after the deal is done.
