Sell A Business
As a business broker my job is to sell your business in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area for the most amount of money possible with the least amount of inconvenience to you. I will support you with all the selling details so that you can keep the daily running of your business intact.
Buy A Business
It is tempting to try to buy a business without a Business Broker, but you cannot be sure you are getting the best deal nor that the details are fully executed correctly. Plus, how do you know what this kind of business is worth here in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area?
Business Valuation
As a professional business broker in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area, I do not charge for business valuation. I start with a confidential analysis of your operations, finances, market potential and trends. I then use this information to generate a business profile…
My Process For Buyers
Buy a Business in Tampa, FL
There is no need to call a Tampa, St. Petersburg or Clearwater business broker until you are within 3 – 6 months of being available to close. For buyers, the lead time is spent getting your Personal Financial Statement in order, and then taking a broad inventory of your experience. It is a rare entrepreneur who can buy and operate a successful restaurant without significant familiarity with the food business!
My Process For Sellers
Don’t Let Complexity Hold You Back
As a seasoned Business Broker in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater area, I always begin my relationship with a seller with a confidential conversation. Then I look at numbers and the operational side of your business. Your goals are as important as market analysis; all of which I undertake meticulously so that you can continue to run your business, day-to-day. In the same way that every business is different, so then is our path to the closing table, and the length of time that a transaction takes. You should not be surprised if the whole process is 12 – 14 months; sometimes things move along more swiftly. Equally, there are other mitigating circumstances that can push the sale of a Tampa Bay area business, a St. Petersburg or a Clearwater area business into a year or more.

“Dave was an incredible broker with the acquisition of a new business in Pinellas county FL. He represented both my husband and I as the buyer as well as the seller which is no easy task. He was up for the challenge. He went above & beyond to make sure the needs of both parties were met. He seriously exceeded all our expectations. He is always available for you and is very conscientious in brokering the negotiations, paperwork, and next steps. My husband and I truly believe he saved our deal when we hit challenges with the seller. We would HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking to sell your business or if you’re a buyer. You won’t find a better person to help you! “
“Dave helped me buy my first business. I used him again at a later date to sell a business, which I think says a lot. He is very professional, accessible, knowledgeable, and will go to bat for you. I highly recommend him.”
