Alpine Business Brokers Announces the Retirement of James Nelson

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alpine Business Brokers Honors James Nelson

After 22 Years of Service

UTAH COUNTY, April 2025 — Alpine Business Brokers proudly announces the retirement of long-time associate James Nelson, who has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth and success for over 22 years. As the first associate to join Alpine after its founding by Gary Tobian and Neal Westwood, Jim has been instrumental in shaping the firm’s reputation for professionalism, trust, and results.

In 2004, Jim earned the prestigious Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) designation from the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA)—a recognition awarded to brokers who demonstrate exceptional industry knowledge and complete rigorous professional education. That year, fewer than 50 brokers nationwide received the designation, and Jim was one of only two in Utah honored at the IBBA’s 38th Professional Development Conference.

Throughout his distinguished career, Jim has helped hundreds of individuals buy and sell various businesses, guiding them through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. He is especially known for his expertise in the Park City area, where he continues to reside.

Jim’s retirement marks the close of a remarkable chapter at Alpine Business Brokers. His steady leadership, deep industry knowledge, and client-first approach have left a lasting legacy that will continue to inspire the Alpine team for years to come. As he enters this new chapter, Jim looks forward to spending more time with his family and enjoying a well-deserved retirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't there more information?

We provide general information about our business listings to give prospective buyers an overview while intentionally withholding certain details to protect the confidentiality of the business and its owner. This approach safeguards sensitive information from competitors, employees, and other parties who might misuse it.

If you're interested in learning more about certain listings, we will send you a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Once the NDA is in place, we can share more detailed information, including the business name, financial records, and other essential details necessary for evaluating the opportunity.

How much do you charge?

We represent the seller and receive our commission directly from them. As a buyer, you won’t incur any fees from Alpine. However, the escrow attorney will charge a fee for preparing and executing the closing documents, typically $575.

Do you assist with financing? How large of a business can I buy?

Alpine provides complimentary SBA (Small Business Administration) loan assistance for all our listings. SBA loans typically require a minimum down payment of 10-15% of the project cost (purchase price plus bank fees). For example, with $100,000 in cash, you could potentially purchase a business valued just under $1 million. Keep in mind, loan approval depends on several factors, including industry experience, proper debt servicing ratios, and other qualifications, but these are general guidelines.
