BreakThru Realty

Sell Your Business in Miami-Dade County

For owners of a business in Miami-Dade County. Know what your business is worth, and sell it without your staff, customers or competitors hearing first. Selling a business involves more than finding a buyer: BreakThru Realty values your business from what comparable Florida businesses actually sold for, markets it without naming it, brings you buyers who have signed an NDA and shown their funds, and manages the lender, the landlord and the closing while you keep running the business.

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.

The Miami-Dade County Business Market

Miami-Dade carries the largest share of Florida's businesses for sale on the MLS, and most of its closed sales. They trade in Miami itself (Brickell, Downtown, Little Havana, Wynwood, Allapattah, Kendall and the airport corridor) and in Hialeah, Doral, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Homestead and North Miami Beach. Restaurants and food businesses are the largest group, then salons and wellness businesses, retail and auto service. The figures on this page show what is listed now and what has sold in the last twelve months.

Who Buys Businesses in Miami-Dade County

Buyers here are often owner-operators who already work in the trade: the cook buying the restaurant, the stylist buying the salon, the mechanic buying the shop. A large share are Spanish-speaking, from across Latin America and Europe, some investing savings from abroad and some buying through the E-2 treaty-investor visa, which needs a real operating business. Buyers who finance usually do it with an SBA 7(a) loan, so the business has to support a loan payment and a salary, and the financials have to be in a form a lender accepts.

Leases, Licences and Local Rules

Miami-Dade County and most of its cities each issue a local business tax receipt, and both are reissued to a new owner. Restaurants carry a state licence from the Division of Hotels and Restaurants, and a full liquor licence (4COP) is a quota licence limited by the county's population, bought and sold on its own. Rents on Miami Beach, in Brickell, Wynwood and Coral Gables run high, so remaining term and the assignment clause weigh heavily on price. Confirm the current requirements with the county and the city.

Selling by City in Miami-Dade County

Each Miami-Dade County city where businesses regularly sell has its own page: Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Beach, Homestead, Coral Gables and North Miami Beach. Each one describes where businesses trade in that city and links to the buyers searching it, because the same people browsing Miami-Dade County businesses for sale on this site are the buyers for yours.

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.

Getting the Financials Ready

A buyer's lender will ask for three years of business tax returns, year-to-date profit and loss, a balance sheet and bank or merchant statements that support the sales. The add-backs that raise your earnings have to be documented, or the lender ignores them. We prepare this package with you, and the cleaner it is the higher the price holds through due diligence.

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.

Find Out What My Business Is Worth

Tell us the type of business, the city, how long it has operated, annual revenue, owner benefit or seller's discretionary earnings, EBITDA if you track it, monthly rent and lease expiry, number of employees, how involved you are, why you are selling, your timeline and whether you would consider seller financing. A licensed BreakThru business broker prepares a confidential valuation from comparable sales and replies within one business day. Everything you tell us is confidential, the valuation is free, and nothing is listed or announced unless you decide to sell. Prefer to talk now? Call (786) 914-1017.

Questions Owners Ask

Is BreakThru Realty a business broker in Miami-Dade County?
Yes. BreakThru Realty is a licensed Florida brokerage with a business brokerage division that values, markets and sells businesses across Miami-Dade County, alongside the county's businesses-for-sale pages that buyers search every day.
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.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Six to nine months from listing to closing is common for a well-prepared small business, faster when the price is right and the records are clean, longer for businesses that need a licensed buyer or a franchisor's approval. The escrow period after an accepted offer is usually sixty to ninety days.
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.
