The process

How to Buy a Small Business
in Denver — Step by Step

Most first-time buyers waste months looking at the wrong deals. Here's the process that separates buyers who close from buyers who browse forever.

01
Define What You're Looking For
Before you look at a single listing write down your acquisition criteria — asset class, deal size, geographic preference within Colorado, weekly hours, and minimum take-home. The Acquisition Criteria Worksheet in your free toolkit guides you through this.
02
Know Your Buying Power
With SBA 7(a) financing, 0K–00K in personal capital can access deals worth 00K–M. The Capital Stack Calculator shows your exact ceiling before you start searching Denver and Front Range listings.
03
Find Listings and Evaluate Fast
BizBuySell, local Colorado business brokers, and off-market outreach are the primary deal sources in Denver. Use the 5-Number Quick Scan to evaluate any listing in 15 minutes — pass or proceed before spending a single hour on due diligence.
04
Get Expert Eyes on the Deal
When a listing passes your Quick Scan apply for Deal Day — a ,500 flat-fee service where we spend one day rebuilding the financials, mapping every risk, and structuring your offer. Clear verdict by 5pm.
05
Submit an LOI and Enter Due Diligence
A Letter of Intent kicks off the formal process. Deal Through provides full LOI-to-close support including due diligence, SBA loan packaging, and licensed real estate representation if applicable in Colorado.
06
Close and Take Ownership
Closing on a small business in Colorado typically takes 60–90 days from signed LOI with SBA financing. We coordinate everything so nothing gets dropped.
