406 Chocolates LLC, a well-established artisan chocolate and confectionery business in Montana, has been successfully acquired by a private investor. Known for its handcrafted chocolates, premium ingredients, and strong local following, 406 Chocolates built a reputation for quality and creativity within the specialty food market. The company’s consistent demand, recognizable brand presence, and loyal customer base made it an attractive opportunity for an incoming owner seeking a turnkey operation in a growing niche.
Montana 406 Business Brokers served as the intermediary for both parties, managing the buy-side and sell-side representation throughout the transaction. Our team coordinated the valuation, confidential marketing, buyer qualification, negotiations, and due diligence to ensure a smooth and efficient closing. By maintaining strict confidentiality and clear communication, we helped both the seller and the buyer reach an agreement that reflected the company’s market value and long-term potential.
The acquisition allows the new owner to carry forward the brand’s legacy while exploring opportunities for expansion, such as wholesale distribution, online sales, product line extensions, and increased regional visibility. For the seller, the transaction represents the successful transition of a business built with passion, craftsmanship, and community support.
We are pleased to have facilitated this transition and to continue supporting business owners across Montana as they buy, sell, and grow successful companies.
