Duncan Richardson

Associate

Duncan Richardson’s entrepreneurial journey, which began in 1998, has not only shaped him into a savvy business owner but also into a highly effective business broker. At Laska Company, Duncan leverages this rich background to provide unparalleled service in the realm of business brokerage. His tenure as the founder of Bodies in Motion, a venture he started in 2011 against the backdrop of economic uncertainty, showcases his ability to identify potential, raise capital, and drive business growth. This venture, which started with a mere 6 employees, has blossomed into a successful enterprise with over 40 employees, reflecting Duncan’s knack for fostering business development and leadership.

In addition to his entrepreneurial success, Duncan’s extensive experience in commercial real estate further enhances his capabilities as a business broker. His firsthand understanding of the intricacies involved in leasing, selling, and purchasing, gained from his experience as a commercial real estate agent and a tenant who has paid over a million dollars in rents, equips him with a unique perspective. This dual expertise allows him to offer effective strategies and insights tailored to the specific needs of business clients.

Residing in Boise since 1980, Duncan’s deep-rooted understanding of the local market dynamics is invaluable. His blend of practical experience in both entrepreneurial ventures and commercial brokerage positions him as an ideal partner for those seeking comprehensive guidance in achieving their business goals. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of a business sale or acquisition, or understanding market trends for strategic decision-making, Duncan’s multifaceted expertise makes him a standout choice for clients in need of a knowledgeable and experienced business broker.
