First Choice Business Brokers
Serving Douglas County, NE
I'm the owner and principal broker for the First Choice office in Omaha. First Choice Business Brokers has become one of the largest organizations in the U.S. specializing in business sales. Since 1994, we have listed and managed over $8 billion in business sales. You deserve experienced, licensed professionals who specialize in business sales. We are large enough to offer buyers the greatest selection of businesses available, yet small enough to give sellers individual attention. If you are a business owner thinking about selling or you are looking to buy a business, I'd be happy to talk to you about the process. I think what really sets First Choice apart is our honest and systematic approach to get your business sold.
