Utah Business Consultants & Brokers

This review is specifically for Cal Black. He tried to take advantage of the fact that we were first time buyers. Maybe he acts differently to those experienced in business dealings or with deals of greater monetary value. I hope that my review helps others in a similar situation achieve a better outcome. From the beginning, he continuously encouraged me not to get an attorney by suggesting he could help draft documents and by making remarks about how most attorneys don’t understand business and it can complicate things. He tried to pressure me into writing up a purchase agreement, knowing that I had not yet consulted with an attorney. After hiring an attorney, we sent an email to Cal with a due diligence checklist and other concerns to discuss. Cal immediately called me and said “This is exactly why we don’t like attorneys getting involved because they muck everything up.” He berated me for sending the email and “demanding” these things. He yelled at my husband at least 4 different times and threatened to end the deal himself. We had to stop answering his phone calls all together. In addition to this, he continued to solicit the sale of the business after the seller had agreed to exclusivity. Several other unethical things were said and done but the fact that he would get this upset over a buyer hiring a lawyer is mind blowing. Why would any broker behave in this manor unless he had something to hide or was just a straight up megalomaniac?

I am having an awesome experience working with Brad. His knowledge and experience was key in helping me evaluate my business worth. He sat down with me and helped me plan out what I would need to do to sell one of my side businesses. I was able to meet Wayne, George and Kathy and everyone was really personable and helpful. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone that needs their service!

When me & my father decided to buy our first business in Utah, Brad Marlor was our first contact. He helped us throughout the entire process. His team held our hand through the process of obtaining all the documents needed. Buying a business is tough so you need someone who is truthful and you can trust his advice. Brad is an excellent advisor and we now know why is rated as # 1 business broker in Salt Lake City.

Brad Marlor and his team are the consummate professionals who represent business owners who are selling their businesses, planning to exit or need a business valuation. I have had the pleasure of working with Brad and his company for several years and I trust them and appreciate their integrity.
