Jim was amazing to work with!  He was professional, patient and helpful through the entire process of selling our business of 25 years. I highly recommend working with Jim.

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.

Jim Evavold was our Realtor who helped sell our Business. Very professional and go getter. Always in communication and worked very hard until we got our Business sold. We were so very fortunate to have found him and work with him. Highly recommend him!

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

Right from the start of working with us to sell our business, Bill Kraemer aimed to put our company in the forefront and keep it there. He kept us updated on the status of requests coming in throughout the entire process, always returned calls quickly, and provided answers and possible solutions to achieve our end goal in the most advantageous way for everyone. He worked ambitiously for us every step of the way!"

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."
