Selling a company means deciding what your years of work are worth and who should take the business forward. Synergy Business Brokers helps owners sell profitable companies with annual revenue of $700,000 to $250 million or more throughout Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and the wider Tampa Bay area. We help you evaluate a potential selling price, find qualified buyers, and manage a confidential sale.
Our specialties include construction, distribution, healthcare, manufacturing, services, technology, and transportation.
With more than 20 years of experience in business brokerage and M&A, our team combines industry knowledge with a database of over 40,000 potential buyers across the United States and overseas. Your buyer search can reach companies and investors beyond Tampa Bay. There are no upfront brokerage fees, and our commission is earned when your business sells.
We begin by learning about your goals and reviewing your financials, including tax returns and current results. We also look at the strengths a buyer would acquire: your team, customer relationships, contracts, equipment, and growth opportunities. Together, these help us recommend a potential asking price and explain the business to qualified buyers.
Our 15-step sales process covers confidential marketing, buyer screening, introductions, offer negotiations, due diligence, and closing. Before receiving identifying details, prospective buyers sign a confidentiality agreement and provide information about their background and financial capabilities. We help you compare the price, financing requirements, proposed transition, and likelihood of closing for each offer.
As a general planning guideline, a sale may take approximately six to ten months, although some businesses sell sooner and others take longer. Pricing, the buyer’s financing, the availability of records, and due diligence can affect the schedule. Keeping your business performing well while we manage the sale process helps protect its appeal to buyers.
Consider which responsibilities your employees can handle without you and how long you would be comfortable helping a new owner. An agreed transition period can provide time for training, customer introductions, and the transfer of key relationships while giving you a clearer path to your next chapter.
