Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell a business in Florida?
Most sales take 8 to 12 months from listing to closing. Well-prepared businesses with clean books can sell faster, while complex deals take longer. Vee helps you get organized before you go to market so your sale stays on track.
What are business broker fees in Florida?
Business brokers earn a success fee paid at closing, usually a percentage of the sale price. You pay nothing up front, and there is no fee if your business does not sell. Vee explains the exact fee in writing before you sign anything.
Do I need a business broker to sell my business?
You can try to sell on your own, but most owners sell for less and it takes longer without a broker. A broker brings qualified buyers, protects your confidentiality and negotiates for you. For most owners, the higher sale price more than covers the fee.
How do I keep my business sale confidential?
Vee uses NDAs, blind listings and a screened buyer list. Your staff, customers and competitors never learn about the sale until you are ready. You stay focused on running the business while she handles inquiries behind the scenes.
What is my business worth?
Most small businesses are valued using SDE times a multiple, based on your real financials and your industry. Vee gives you a free, confidential valuation so you know your number before you decide. One client expected $700,000 and sold for $1.2 million.
Can I sell a business with employees and keep them?
Yes. A good sale includes the team, and buyers see trained staff as an asset. Vee helps frame your business so the team looks like a strength, not a risk. She also helps plan a smooth transition for everyone involved.
