Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy a business in Florida?

The acquisition process starts with defining your criteria (industry, size, geography, investment capacity). An M&A advisor can source off-market opportunities, manage due diligence, negotiate deal terms, and coordinate financing — giving you access to deals not publicly listed.

What should I look for when buying a Florida business?

Key factors include adjusted EBITDA trends, customer concentration (below 20% ideal), management depth beyond the owner, recurring revenue characteristics, competitive moat, and growth trajectory. Understanding the seller's motivation and timeline is also critical.

How much does it cost to buy a business in Florida?

Businesses in our focus range ($3M–$50M enterprise value) typically require 10–30% equity with the remainder financed through SBA loans, seller financing, or institutional debt. Total acquisition cost includes purchase price, transaction fees, and working capital requirements.

Can I buy a business with an SBA loan?

Yes, SBA 7(a) loans are commonly used for business acquisitions up to $5M. For larger transactions, conventional bank financing, mezzanine debt, or private equity structures are more common. Deal structure significantly impacts financing options.
