Your first step: Confidential Business Exit Review

Start With a Confidential Business Exit Review

Your business represents years of decisions, relationships and work. Before anyone hears it might be for sale, know what it would sell for, what a buyer's lender will accept, and what you would take home. A licensed business broker prepares it and walks you through it privately.

What you receive

  • A recast of your earnings into seller's discretionary earnings, with the add-backs documented
  • A price range from closed sales of comparable Florida businesses, with the reasoning
  • The lease, staffing and financing issues that would move the price, and what to fix first
  • What a buyer's SBA lender is likely to accept
  • An estimate of what you would take home after the fee and any payoff

What happens next

  1. Answer a few questions about the business. Revenue and what you take home are enough to start.
  2. A business broker prepares the review from comparable sales.
  3. We call within one business day to walk through it, privately.
  4. Nothing is listed, and nobody is contacted, unless you decide to sell.

Free and confidential. The details you give us are seen only by the broker preparing the review. We do not contact your landlord, staff or customers.

Selling a Business in Boca Raton

Boca Raton attracts well-capitalised buyers, many of them professionals relocating to South Florida who want a business with a manager in place. Restaurants, salons and spas, medical and wellness practices and professional services lead, and buyers pay for clean books, staff who stay and a long lease. With a large seasonal population, buyers read twelve months of sales, not the winter peak.

Who Buys Boca Raton Businesses

Buyers include professionals relocating from the Northeast and the Midwest who want to own a business, semi-retired owners looking for one with a manager in place, and local operators adding a location. Many are well capitalised and pay for clean books, staff who stay and a lease with years left on it. Below a few million dollars, SBA financing is common. In Boca Raton, buyers on this site are searching restaurants and food businesses and salons, spas and health businesses most often.

Leases, Licences and Local Rules

The Palm Beach County Tax Collector issues the county's local business tax receipt and most cities issue their own; both are reissued to a new owner. Restaurants carry a state licence from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, and full liquor quota licences are limited by the county's population. Boca Raton and the Town of Palm Beach have strict sign and appearance rules, which matter to a buyer planning to rebrand. Confirm the current requirements with the county and the city.

What Your Business Is Worth

Small and mid-sized businesses sell on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings, the total benefit one owner takes from the business once the owner's salary, perks and one-time costs are added back to the profit. The multiple moves with the industry, the lease, the staff and how easily the business runs without you. We recast your numbers, compare them with closed sales of similar Florida businesses, and give you a range with the reasoning, before you decide anything.

Confidentiality Comes First

Staff who hear a rumour start looking for work, competitors tell your customers, and suppliers tighten terms. So the business is marketed as a blind profile: the industry, the area, the size and the numbers, never the name or the address. A buyer signs a non-disclosure agreement and shows proof of funds before we tell them who you are, and showings happen after hours. The landlord hears once there is an accepted offer.

Questions you may be asking

Will my employees, customers or landlord find out?
Not from us. The review itself involves nobody but you and the broker. If you later sell, the business is marketed without its name or address, buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement and prove their funds before they learn who you are, and the landlord is approached only once there is an accepted offer.
What does a business broker charge?
A success fee paid from the proceeds at closing, set out in writing in the listing agreement before you sign anything. The review costs nothing.
My books are not perfect.
Few are. The review shows which add-backs a lender will accept and which records to tidy before a buyer looks, so the price holds through due diligence.
I only know my revenue.
Tell us the revenue and what you take home, even roughly. We work out the rest with you and ask for tax returns later, only if you want a firm range.

Questions Owners Ask

Is there a business broker in Boca Raton?
BreakThru Realty is a licensed Florida brokerage with a business brokerage division working Boca Raton and the rest of Palm Beach County. We value the business, market it confidentially and manage the sale through closing.
How much is my business worth?
Most owner-operated businesses in Florida sell for a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings: net profit plus the owner's salary, benefits and one-time or personal expenses run through the business. Where the multiple falls depends on the industry, the lease, the staff, the trend in the numbers and how much the business depends on you. A confidential valuation gives you the range for your business and the reasons behind it.
Will my employees, customers or landlord find out?
Not from us. The business is marketed without its name or address, buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement and prove their funds before they learn who you are, and showings happen after hours or are presented as something else. The landlord is approached only once there is an accepted offer, because the lease has to be assigned.
What does a business broker charge?
Brokers selling small businesses usually charge a success fee paid from the proceeds at closing, commonly quoted in the market at around ten percent of the price, often with a minimum fee; larger sales are usually priced on a sliding scale. BreakThru's fee is set out in writing in the listing agreement before you sign anything, and the valuation costs nothing.
