About the Company

We Believe in Entrepreneurs.

We Believe in Your Success: If you fail, we fail. So, we are honest from the get-go and provide caring counsel on what part of our services are best suited for you.

We Believe in Relationships, Not Transactions: We care about you achieving your goals, not ours. We engage with your business from within, and we enjoy getting to know you, so we can speak in depth on your behalf.

We Believe Our Sum is Greater than Our Parts: Two heads are better than one, and three or more are even better! We enjoy a free exchange of ideas and feedback, and you will never be left with only a singular viewpoint.

We Believe in Teams: You are never left with only one contact. Our team is kept updated throughout, and a vacation or unexpected emergency will never leave you in the lurch.

We Believe in a Cooperative Spirit: We are organized as a Cooperative, because we believe in a democratic approach; that the best way to serve you is for our brokers and advisors to be fully vested in whatever they do.

Broker Biography

Introduction

Scott and Carolyn were original co-founders of Colorado Business Brokers. Main Ascent was then borne as an extension of CBB and from our determination to be of service beyond just Colorado and brokerage. We went on to build a team of exceptionally talented brokers and advisors, with broad and deep experience and real-world insight. Our team has collectively owned, managed, bought, sold, and turned around large and small businesses, private and publicly owned, local and international, direct-to-consumer or business-to-business, from the trades to the professions, and across industrial, commercial, and white collar.

Services Provided

We offer a multi-tiered approach so we can help whether you want to sell, buy, or grow. We have created a comprehensive platform, where our brokers and advisors start by gaining a deep familiarity and understanding of the current business’s operational status and its owner(s) mindset within it. We develop a vision for the business’s future and a plan to realize the value that has been built. And we build a growth/turnaround playbook for how either a current or new owner can steer the business toward its ongoing and sustainable legacy. All along the way, our brokers and advisors are there, providing service, guidance, confidence, and results.
