Serving South Florida for Over 30 Years
Sell Your Manufacturing, Distribution, or Skilled Trade Business in Florida
You’ve built a business with real output. Equipment on the floor, people in the field, customers who count on you. Whether you produce, install, deliver, or restore, the value of your business is tangible.
If you’re thinking about selling, it pays to work with a team that understands operations, financials, and how buyers think.
At Sunbelt South Florida, we know what drives value in industrial and service-based companies, and we know how to position that value in the market.
Plan Ahead, Sell Smarter
A strong business doesn’t sell itself. It takes preparation, strategy, and experience to attract the right buyer and close the right deal. That’s where we come in.
Exit Planning
We start by understanding your role in the business, the strength of your crew or managers, your timeline, and what you want after the sale. Whether you plan to stay on for a transition or hand over the keys, we create a roadmap that aligns with your goals.
Business Valuation
Buyers look at more than revenue. They want reliable cash flow, clean books, low customer concentration, and transferable systems. We break down your numbers, identify add-backs, and show you what your business is likely to command in today’s market.
Marketing the Business
We don’t just list and wait. We create a professional, confidential package that tells the story of your business clearly. Our outreach targets serious buyers who understand your space, and we screen every inquiry so you’re only speaking with qualified prospects.

After preparing the business for sale, we identified a strategic buyer from out of state. We got through all of the licensing, environmental and customer concentration issues and obtained SBA financing for the buyer. The deal closed above asking, and the owner stayed on as a paid consultant for 12 months.
