Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sell my business in Florida?
Selling a business in Florida involves several steps: obtaining a professional business valuation, preparing financial documentation, engaging an M&A advisor, identifying and vetting qualified buyers under NDA, negotiating deal terms, completing due diligence, and closing the transaction. The process typically takes 6–9 months with professional guidance.
How much is my Florida business worth?
Business value is primarily determined by adjusted EBITDA multiplied by an industry-specific multiple. Factors like revenue diversification, management depth, recurring revenue, and growth trajectory all influence the multiple. Businesses in the $3M–$50M range typically see multiples of 3x–7x EBITDA depending on these factors.
Do I need a broker or M&A advisor to sell my business?
While not legally required, business owners who work with an M&A advisor typically achieve significantly higher sale prices. An advisor manages buyer outreach, negotiations, due diligence, and closing — allowing you to continue running your business while maximizing transaction value.
What taxes will I pay when selling my business in Florida?
Florida has no state income tax, which can be advantageous. However, federal capital gains taxes apply. The tax impact depends on the deal structure (asset sale vs. stock sale), holding period, and other factors. We recommend working with a tax advisor alongside your M&A advisor to optimize the structure.
How do I keep the sale of my business confidential?
Confidentiality is maintained through NDA-protected buyer outreach, anonymized marketing materials, controlled information disclosure, and careful management of employee, customer, and vendor communications. A professional M&A advisor manages this entire process.
