Mountain States Business Brokers acquired, moved to Broomfield

FORT COLLINS — Benjamin Brickweg, a mergers and acquisitions adviser based in Erie, announced Thursday he has acquired the controlling interest in Mountain States Business Brokers, a business brokerage based in Fort Collins.

The company is relaunching as the Scout & Spur Group and has moved its headquarters to Broomfield. It maintains offices in Aspen, Fort Collins, Loveland, Steamboat Springs and Summit County.

Ben Mahrle, founder of Mountain States Business Brokers, retains an ownership role in the Scout & Spur Group and will continue to serve clients in Northern Colorado.

The acquisition and rebranding effort was spurred by Brickweg’s experience in the legal and business brokerage professions. Brickweg says Scout & Spur looks at the sale of a business as a transition process — one that could last years — not merely a single event.

“We create value for our clients at every step on their path,” he said in a prepared statement. “That could mean anything from exit-planning to a long-term strategy to lower expenses or raise valuation. It’s much closer to a concierge service, personally tailored for each client. That’s why our team includes people with CPA experience, financial planning experience and legal experience along with deal experience.”
