Thinking About Selling Your Business?
Prepare the business.
Protect the story.
Value is more than a multiple. Reliable earnings, transferable operations, customer diversity, lease terms, and a credible transition plan all shape buyer confidence.
Position
Normalize earnings, organize records, surface risk, and frame a supportable market story.
Qualify
Control disclosure, verify buyer capacity, and protect confidentiality through staged access.
Coordinate
Guide the offer, diligence, financing, landlord, advisors, training, and closing timeline.
Interactive planning tool
Frame a realistic starting range.
Enter annual revenue and seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE), then adjust for common marketability factors. Joe will review comparable sales and transaction-specific considerations during the confidential consultation.
Buyer Representation
Guidance from search to closing.
A good acquisition must fit your capital, income needs, operating experience, geography, and tolerance for risk—not just an attractive asking price.
- Define a practical acquisition thesis
- Search BBF MLS and selected outside sources
- Remove duplicates and questionable listings
- Coordinate financing, diligence, and approvals
Confidentiality first
Certain opportunities require a completed Buyer Profile and Confidentiality Agreement before confidential information can be released.
Joe helps you define your search, evaluate earnings and operations, and coordinate offers, financing, lease review, due diligence, and closing. Representation, scope, and compensation are established through the applicable written agreement with Florida Business Exchange, Inc.
