    • What is the best price?
    • Who will write the Purchase and Sale Agreement?
    • When should I get a lawyer or accountant involved?
    • How do I get the lease I want?

By working with SBR, you have the advantage of dealing with experienced business professionals. We can introduce you to more good business opportunities than anyone.

And remember, our fees are paid by the seller !

Our expertise includes not includes not only finding business “for sale”, but also bringing about joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, depending upon the needs of the Buyer and the Seller in each transaction.

Florida is one of the largest growth states in the country, with a steady stream of people relocating from all parts of the U.S., and other parts of the world.

Given this fact, there is a huge demand for profitable, established businesses in the area. Unfortunately, the demand is much greater than the supply. We have found many “Buyers” and “Investors” spend a great deal of time and money trying to find the “right” situation, only to become frustrated and discouraged in the end. We have also found, through our years of experience in this area, that there are many well-established profitable businesses that are not “on the market”, but if approached individually would be willing to sell, or engage in a joint venture or partnership with a qualified purchaser or investor.

It is for these reasons; we also act as acquisition search specialists, actively searching out situations that meet your criteria and specifications.

We, and our staff of highly trained professionals, have many years of background and expertise in buying and selling businesses, both as owners ourselves and acting as brokers and conduits in every type of situation.

If we are retained by, and working for you, the “Buyer”, we will devote time and effort to seeking out the business that would interest you, but are not, and probably never would be actively “on the market” for sale.

Of course, all this will be done in the strictest of confidence.
