FCBB is a member of the Canadian Franchise Association, the International Business Brokers Association, and the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, and the International Franchise Association. In 2016, Inc.com listed FCBB as one of the top three Boutique Brokers. And noted that FCBB was a top choice for those interested in confidential selling. FCBB was also named M&A Source Top Firm of the Year, 1 Person Category.
FCBB has been featured twice on Entrepreneur’s Annual Franchise 500 List as a top Brokerage brand and as a low-cost investment option.

With successful franchises operating across the US, the franchise chain now aims to expand into the international market.
Founders of the Firm
First Choice Business Brokers was established by Jeff Nyman and Linda Hentges-Nyman. In 1996, the firm developed into the largest Business Sales Organization in Nevada and continues to hold that position. Jeff is CEO of the firm and Linda is COO specializing in operations and franchise support. Jeff hails from a background in Accounting, Finance, Life insurance, Banking, and Executive search. Linda’s background is equally impressive with Banking and Executive Search as well as holding several positions in the Nevada Business Brokers Association. Both Jeff and Linda assisted in writing the NV State Test for the Business Brokerage. FCBB entered the franchise market in 2006. The aim was to spread the knowledge and expertise of the firm and create a lasting legacy.
