We recently sold our gas station and property in Minnesota with the help of Jim at Opportunities In Business, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Selling a business along with commercial property comes with a lot of moving parts, but Jim was there every step of the way. He always responded quickly to any questions or issues that came up, whether it was about the business side of the sale or the property itself. His knowledge and professionalism made a complicated process feel manageable. I would highly recommend Jim and Opportunities In Business to anyone looking to sell their business or commercial property.

I recently sold my business and could not be happier with the results.  I highly recommend Peggy Scheeler with Opportunities in Business.  Peggy was a tremendous help with identifying and bringing in possible buyers.  When it was clear that we had the right buyer, Peggy's experience with writing up the final contract could not have been better.  I highly recommend Peggy Scheeler.  You will not be disappointed.

Working with Rick W. these past couple years has  been a pleasure. The professionalism, attention to detail, along with his dogged determination to keep the transaction on-track has made for a successful business sale. Highly recommended!! 5-STAR for sure.

Mike Derus went above and beyond to find a qualified buyer for our business and brilliantly completed all the documents to make the transaction come together! He kept us informed every step of the way. OIB is well versed in what they do and would recommend them to anyone trying to sell a business.

I worked with Peggy Scheeler on a transaction where she represented the seller and my company was the buyer. Even from the other side of the table, I can’t speak highly enough of the value she brought to the process. Peggy knew when to step in, how to guide both parties toward practical solutions, and helped keep the transaction moving toward a mutually beneficial outcome. If you’re thinking about selling your business, you want Peggy on your team.

Mike did a great job selling my HVAC company within three weeks of listing it. The communication and knowledge of how SBA loans work was a huge plus. Don’t bother with Calhoun or Sunbelt! OIB will get it sold and you will be much happier at the end.

Thank you, Bill Kraemer, for helping sell my business. He pre-qualified all potential buyers and kept me informed throughout the selling process. Bill worked hard to negotiate the best deal for the buyer and me while still looking out for my best interests. He was available to take my calls 7 days a week. I would definitely recommend Bill to sell your business.

This is a right and good choice to choose them to sell my family’s liquor store. Jim has done a good job! I like what he said: I probably don’t know how to run a liquor store, but I do know how to sell a liquor store. Yes, he did and he did better than anyone else indeed!

Bill Kraemer, with OIB, was a pleasure to work with. Our business sale was not just one business, but 5 combined and was certainly considered an unique scenario to manage. Bill guided the entire sale process with a plethora of knowledge and confidence. His negotiation skills were tested on several occasions, and because of his years of experience, he always stepped up to the plate for us, which worked to our advantage. No matter the time or the day, Bill was always reachable with any questions we had; and always had the answer. Thanks to Bill, our dream of retirement became a reality!

Thumbs up. OIB guys do their work well. Dozens of emails and calls with potential buyers. When we found one, they helped enormously with the details and negotiations for the sale. I worked with Rick Willard and Mac Thelen. They're a good team.

Charles Durkin with Opportunities In Business helped us purchase an existing business...He was friendly and very helpful with making sure we were asking all the right questions and everything else. I'm not sure we would have continued looking for businesses to buy had we not found Charles.

Bill Kraemer helped sell my family's business of 42 years and was great to work with. Bill was extremely responsive, even if he was on vacation, he always responded letting me know when he was available. Business didn't stop after 5pm. Even after the sale, Bill was willing to listen and help be a sounding board for another business venture I was contemplating.

I have used other broker's prior to knowing Bill. Compared to the others, my only regret was not having met Bill sooner.

If you are looking for an experienced straight-forward broker, I would high recommend Bill. I have referred him to friends and family looking to sell or valuate their business.

We went to Bob 22 years ago looking for a printing company to buy, and he found us the perfect one. 22 years later we still own the company, and we still consider Bob a trusted adviser. (We've also gotten to know Tom and Peggy, and they great as well!)

UPDATE: In 2021 we reached out to Bob to handle an inquiry from a party interested in buying our business. Ultimately we determined that buyer wasn’t a good fit, but Bob and his co-worker Jim Evavold quickly found the people that were the perfect fit – they paid a fair price, left the soul of our business intact, and had the energy to take it to the next level.

We could not be happier with Bob (and Jim!) and would recommend them (and Tom and Peggy!) to anyone looking to buy or sell a business!

Quotes

When first starting to look into a broker to sell my business I had started working with large broker firms. They undervalued my business to the point that the assets were more the the value the assessed. Charles worked very hard to get a proper evaluation that he and I felt comfortable with. Charles also worked hard with buyers to help them through the process even though he wasn't representing them. In the end I was able to sell my company for 40% more than other broker companies were willing to evaluate at. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience."
