The Guides to Buying a Business

The Florida Businesses for Sale Market

The market table on this page counts the listings shown here: every active business on the MLS asking $240,000 or more, with the median asking price by industry, city and price range and the date the figures were taken. Most of these businesses are priced on the owner's earnings, the lease, the equipment and the staff who stay, so the asking price is where your analysis starts, not where it ends. Asking prices are not sale prices, and a listing's income figures are as the listing agent reported them until the tax returns confirm them.

Restaurants, Cafés and Bars

Full service restaurants in Miami, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale, cafeterias and bakeries in Hialeah and Doral, pizzerias, coffee shops, bars and lounges, and quick service franchises in the suburbs. The lease and its options, the liquor licence, the equipment and a verifiable profit and loss statement are what we check first, because the MLS gross income figure is the top line, not what you would earn.

Salons, Spas and Medical Practices

Hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, spas, medical spas and medical and dental practices, spread through every city from Aventura and Hallandale Beach to Boca Raton. Their value rests on the people: whether the stylists, technicians, providers and patients stay after a change of ownership, and whether the licences and the lease transfer cleanly. Some practices can be owned only by a licensed professional, so confirm the ownership rules before you make an offer.

Retail, Convenience and Liquor Stores

Convenience stores, liquor stores, supermarkets, boutiques and phone and vape shops make up the retail listings. Inventory is usually sold on top of the asking price at cost, licences are often the most valuable asset in a liquor or convenience store, and merchant statements, not the listing, should verify the sales.

Service, Automotive and Franchise Businesses

Cleaning, landscaping, transport, childcare and professional services are sold on their contracts and staff rather than on a location. Auto repair, body shops, tire stores and car washes depend on zoning, environmental compliance and whether the equipment is owned. Franchise resales add the franchisor's transfer approval and a fixed remaining term to every deal.

Where Businesses Sell

The city table above ranks the cities by how many businesses are listed there today. In Miami-Dade the market runs through Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Beach, Coral Gables and Homestead. In Broward the market runs through Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Davie, Miramar and Pompano Beach, and in Palm Beach County through Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach and Greenacres. Beyond South Florida the MLS carries smaller numbers on the Treasure Coast and in Tampa, Orlando, Naples and other Florida cities, all of them in the search on this page. Each city page carries its live listings and a note on what sells there.

Financing a Business Purchase

Buyers pay with cash, an SBA 7(a) loan, seller financing, a conventional bank loan or a combination. SBA eligibility is narrower than it was: since March 1, 2026 the business must be owned entirely by U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals whose principal residence is in the United States, so permanent residents and visa holders finance another way. For an eligible buyer, the SBA rules require an equity injection of at least ten percent of the project cost on a purchase, and a seller note counts toward half of it only when it takes no payments for the life of the loan. Lenders also want three years of the business's tax returns, experience that fits the industry and cash left after closing. Consult a lender about your own eligibility before you tour; we organize the financial records a lender will ask for.

Selling a Business in Florida

Businesses in Florida sell on a multiple of the owner's discretionary earnings, adjusted for the lease, the industry, the staff and how dependent the business is on the owner. We value your business from recent sales of comparable businesses, market it confidentially without naming it, qualify every buyer with an NDA and proof of funds, and manage the SBA lender, the landlord and the closing so the business keeps running while it sells.

What We Verify Before You Offer

Tax returns against the profit and loss statement, merchant and bank statements against the reported sales, the lease term, options and assignment clause, the licences and permits and whether they transfer, the equipment list and any liens, the staff and how they are paid, and the reason for selling. Every BreakThru buyer gets this review before an offer goes in, at no fee to the buyer.

Buying a Business in Florida: FAQ

How much does a business cost in Florida?
The market table on this page shows the current median asking price and the count of businesses in each price range, taken from the listings on this page, which ask $240,000 or more. What a business is worth depends on its verified earnings, the lease, the staff, the customers and how much of it depends on the owner, so two businesses at the same asking price can be very different purchases. Ask for the tax returns before you compare prices.
How much cash do I need to buy a business?
It depends on how you pay. A buyer who qualifies for an SBA 7(a) loan needs an equity injection of at least ten percent of the project cost on a purchase, plus working capital and closing costs; a seller note can cover up to half of that injection only on full standby, with no payments for the life of the loan. Buyers who do not qualify for SBA financing, including permanent residents and visa holders under the March 2026 rules, use cash, seller financing or a conventional loan, which usually asks for more down. Consult a lender for your own figures.
Do I pay a fee to buy a business through BreakThru Realty?
In most Florida business sales the seller pays the brokerage commission at closing, and our buyer engagement letter puts the terms in writing before you see confidential information. As the buyer you get a licensed business broker to search, evaluate, negotiate and manage financing and due diligence.
Why do listings not show the business name or address?
Sellers keep a sale confidential so staff, customers, suppliers and landlords do not learn of it before closing. The MLS lists the type of business and the city; the name, address, financials and the confidential information memorandum are shared after you sign a nondisclosure agreement and show you are a qualified buyer.
How long does it take to buy a business?
Sixty to one hundred and twenty days is typical from accepted offer to closing. An all cash purchase of a small business can close in a few weeks; an SBA financed purchase needs the lender's underwriting, a landlord's consent to assign the lease and, for a franchise, the franchisor's approval of the buyer.
What is my business worth and how do I sell it?
Request a confidential valuation and we will price your business from recent sales of comparable Florida businesses, based on your discretionary earnings, lease, staff and industry. We then market it without naming it, screen buyers with an NDA and proof of funds, and manage the financing and closing while you keep running the business.
What does seller financing mean on a business listing?
The seller agrees to accept part of the price as a promissory note paid over time, typically ten to thirty percent of the price over three to five years. It reduces the cash and bank financing a buyer needs, and because the seller is paid from the business's future earnings it is a strong signal that the numbers hold up.
