About the Company
"Your life’s work deserves a founder’s perspective” Blake Business Brokerage
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. Your business needs guidance from an expert broker who has sold several of their own personal businesses. Having a broker who has also been a previous business owner is going to be the best partner for you and your business because we have been in your shoes. Your life's work needs a business owner's guidance, who understands your concerns and your business and can help be your voice at the negotiation table. Let us help you navigate the sale of your business, with you in control.
Established by Ryan Blake—a serial entrepreneur, with over 20 years of his own start-ups, a UTAH State MBA Masters in Business Administration graduate, commercial pilot, and experience licensed Montana 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 business ownership, having worn each of the various hats himself as an entrepreneur. Having an expert to help with the business sales process, and 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 the owner could get on their own.
