How buying a business works

The search above pulls from the Business Brokers of Florida MLS, so you see businesses listed by brokers across the state, not only my own listings. Here is how a purchase usually moves from first look to closing.

1. Search and register. Filter by county, industry, price, and earnings, and register so new matches come to you as they are listed.
2. Sign a confidentiality agreement. Sellers protect their identity, so detailed information is shared only after you sign an NDA and show you can fund the purchase, through proof of funds or lender pre-qualification.
3. Review the business. Study the financials, ask questions, and meet the owner when the fit looks right.
4. Line up financing. SBA 7(a) loans commonly finance acquisitions, and the lender sets the down payment, terms, and requirements within SBA rules. See my guide to the best SBA lenders for buying a business in Florida.
5. Make an offer. Offers usually come as a purchase agreement with contingencies for financing and due diligence.
6. Due diligence and closing. You verify the numbers, the lease, licenses, and contracts, then close with your attorney and lender.

Frequently asked questions

Do buyers pay a broker fee?

In most Florida business sales the seller pays the broker’s fee, so buyers usually do not pay a broker to search, register, or make an offer. Your own costs are typically your attorney, CPA, lender fees, and due diligence.

How much do I need for a down payment?

For an SBA 7(a) acquisition loan, the lender sets the down payment within SBA rules, and sometimes a seller note on full standby can cover part of that. Conventional and seller-financed deals vary, so talk with a lender early.

Why do I have to sign an NDA before seeing details?

Owners keep a sale confidential so employees, customers, and competitors do not find out early. The NDA protects them, and it is a standard step before you receive the business name and financials.

What should I check before I buy?

Verify the tax returns against the financials, review the lease and any licenses that must transfer, and understand how much the business depends on the current owner. My guide to due diligence when buying a business in Florida walks through it.
