While preparing to retire as the owner of Dandelion’s Flowers & Gifts located in Eugene, OR, I still needed to focus on the daily tasks of continuing to run my business well. Business broker Patrick Bice’s advice, experience, and assistance throughout each step of the process was critical in coaching me as a seller, in finding a great buyer, and then navigating the many details to get to the final closing. Patrick took a personal interest in working with me to meet my specific goals. He made himself available at all hours when questions arose and was always there for important advice and support while managing the myriad details the closing process as a business broker required to complete the sale and to achieve my ultimate goal – retirement! Thank you, Patrick.

As the President of Figaro’s Italian Pizza, Inc., a much respected Quick Service Restaurant multi-unit franchise business, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with Patrick Bice, the owner of Northwest Business Sales & Certified Appraisals, LLC. He has an extensive background and experience in the food and beverage industry in their operations and sales as a Certified Business Broker and Business Certified Appraiser. He has demonstrated with our franchisees his personal and professional commitment in assisting them in the sale of their businesses. He prepares detailed business resumés and takes a genuine interest in working with our business ownership who desire to have their businesses valued or want to sell. He is a business broker and appraiser that I would very much recommend for food and beverage and other businesses that want to work with a professional who can skillfully value and close a sale. He’s someone you can trust.

Patrick Bice, who is the owner of Northwest Business Sales & Certified Appraisals, LLC., recently sold me Mid-Lane Truck Repair located in Eugene, OR. It was a process that went on for several months as the due diligence was being performed by both myself and the seller. I had previously looked at and reviewed several other businesses but found that the body of the work presented in his business sale resumé and valuation work were extremely professional and assisted me in my final decision making. He was able to address in a very timely fashion those many inquiries that I had as a future investor regarding the financials and operations. During the multiple meetings and exchanges of telephone calls and e-mails, Patrick was very prompt and professionally responsive in addressing my many questions. He made himself available 24/7 and played a major role in the successful closing of the business sale. I would highly recommend Patrick as a Certified Business Broker and Business Certified Appraiser, Northwest Business Sales, and his services as a representative for sellers and buyers in the sale and purchase of businesses.

I first met Patrick Bice, the owner of Northwest Business Sales & Certified Appraisals, LLC, through the Oregon Restaurant & Lodging Association. Patrick sits on our Policy Committee and is a quite active member of the Association. For the purposes of buying out my partner, I engaged him to produce an important valuation for a hotel operations management company in which I was a part owner. The transaction ended up being contentious, but Mr. Bice’s valuation stood the battle tests and was ultimately the foundation for the buy-out agreement. During the valuation processes, Patrick was very thorough and took the time to answer all my questions and explain the basis for the appraisal. I would highly recommend Patrick Bice and his business for any valuations in his multiple areas of expertise.

I have known Patrick Bice, Principal Broker and owner of Northwest Business Sales & Certified Appraisals, LLC., for several years. He is actively involved in the state of Oregon and Lane County community as a Certified Business Broker and Business Certified Appraiser who primarily advises and works with all types of main street business owners who desire to have their business valued or who decide to sell. He specializes exclusively in business opportunity and real property sales and transactions.

With the unique skill sets that he practices as a Broker/Appraiser in representing business ownerships, his focus is on taking the necessary time to understand the business and looks for value in the enterprise that is most often overlooked by less experienced brokers. Add Patrick’s sense of professionality, attention to detail, and personal commitment to represent the ownership, he is a valuable resource to business owners and someone that I would feel very comfortable in recommending. He is someone that can be trusted.
