Oliver, of IBA, recently sold our restaurant of 22 years. Not only was he able to bring a qualified buyer to the table, but he was also extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire transaction process taking us across the finish line to retirement.

Thank you so much, Oliver of IBA! We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell a business :)

Selling a business is so much more than a transaction—and working with Oliver made all the difference. From our very first meeting, it was clear he genuinely cared—not just about getting the deal done, but about me, my team, and the legacy of what I’d built.

He took the time to learn about every part of the business, even getting to know my employees by name, and showed deep respect for what made it special.

There were moments throughout the process that were overwhelming, emotional, and honestly just tough. Oliver became more than a broker—he was a steady presence, a sounding board, and sometimes even a therapist. He brought a level of calm, clarity, and perspective that only someone who’s been in the trenches as a business owner himself could offer.

His ability to stay level-headed, handle difficult conversations with grace, and always keep the bigger picture in mind is something I’ll never forget. I trusted him completely—and he earned that trust every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner through one of the biggest decisions of my life.

We were thrilled with our experience selling our business with Oliver Kotelnikov. He offered honest and valuable advice and guidance.

He connected us with multiple qualified buyers and helped us find a match that would make sure our clients were taken care of. We will be forever grateful for Oliver’s assistance

I am so grateful to have come across Oliver Kotelnikov, a business broker for IBA, NW Business Brokers, in the late winter of 2021. We were in a transition period in our lives and needed help finding a buyer for our family business, a large outdoor retail store primarily offering shoes and technical clothing.

Oliver never ceased to amaze us with his prompt responses, his way of making the impossible seem very possible, his care for the transaction from beginning to end, and his ability to find the correct qualified buyer within the committed window of time.

If you are in the market for an exit strategy and need expert advice from whom I believe is the best, I would definitely recommend meeting with Oliver Kotelnikov. Allow him the opportunity to partner with you on your transition.

If we ever find ourselves in the middle of another business opportunity that needs to be sold, we will definitely be reaching out to Oliver. His service was nothing less than spectacular!

Oliver was a true pleasure to work with in the sale of our restaurant business and the associated commercial property. His knowledge of the marketplace was apparent and his experience was obvious as it continually informed the process. Oliver proved to be a tough negotiator, yet he was kind and respectful as he fielded any and all of our questions. We, the family of Judy Fu, the original owners of Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon restaurant, highly recommend him.
