ABOUT US
Green Bridge is much more than your typical Real Estate and business brokerage or consulting firm. Green Bridge is based upon a set of core values which holds our clients interest as our number one priority.
OUR FOUNDER
Christian Alavi
Christian graduated from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln (Go Huskers!) majoring in Accounting and Finance and Masters of Professional Accountancy. Upon graduating he worked in a couple different roles at RSM McGladrey and Deloitte with their tax and audit teams.
Having done audit and tax work from Fortune 500 companies to family owned companies on main street, he always knew his passion was small business. Working over 15 years with small businesses, Christian has a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed. He grew up in western SD within the family cattle ranch where he gained a passion for family owned companies. His professional experience as a licensed CPA at RSM and Deloitte, has given him the experience and expert knowledge of companies’ tax compliance and financial statements.
​
After leaving Deloitte, he bought his first business (liquor store) and has continued to own, operate and consult with many family owned businesses. His diverse knowledge and experience combined with a genuine passion to help family owned companies succeed sets him apart. He firmly believes everyone should follow their passion and be involved in a family owned company. After all, it’s the fiber that holds us all together.
Christian now lives in Red Cliff, CO with his beautiful daughter Karoline. His love for the outdoors include skiing, golfing, mountain biking and climbing among many many others the mountain life provides. He is still very active in the family cattle ranch and enjoys teaching his daughter the value of hard work and compassion for caring for animals.

WHO WE ARE
OUR HISTORY
Green Bridge was started to help fill the void in business brokering where it’s much more about the people involved than the transaction at hand. Many times brokers are merely looking at the commissions and fail to recognize there are real people behind the companies they are selling. Or you get a broker who is great at sales but has never worked a day in their life as a business owner. Whether it is a first time buyer who needs basic understanding of the operations and financials or a seasoned entrepreneur, you need someone who will be with you every step of the way and that goes well beyond the close of the transaction.
THE GREEN BRIDGE DIFFERENCE
At Green Bridge we pride ourselves in being a full service brokerage firm embedded in hard work, integrity and ethics. Given our experience in tax and audit, we are able to provide services above and beyond your typical brokerage company. On the buy-side, we will do everything from company creation (EIN, QuickBooks, Licenses etc) to provide ongoing support and consulting during those initial months of operating. We will do everything in our power to make sure you exceed well beyond the purchase.
If you’re thinking of selling your company, we would love to be your partner in that venture as well. The best time to call is when you are remotely considering selling and just want some high level information on the process. We will help guide you from company readiness all the way through working with your CPA on how to best structure the transaction for tax purposes. Our team and partner firms have the experience necessary to make this an enjoyable time in your life as a business owner.
OUR VISION
To help community businesses grow and thrive in the marketplace, bringing new life to businesses of any scale.
