Experienced Business Brokerage Services to Sell your Business Fast.
#1. Target Audience
Every business has the potential to be sold, but to achieve optimal outcomes, it is important to identify and concentrate on a target audience that is most receptive to the business being offered for sale.
We take the time to understand your business and gather the information that is most likely to be requested by your target audience.
This streamlines your exit strategy and focuses the offering to those who are your most likely potential buyer candidate.
#2. Improved Profits
When prospective buyers evaluate businesses for purchase, they often prioritize examining the net earnings of the business in question.
It is important to note that many small business owners erroneously attempt to sell their businesses based on taxable earnings rather than discretionary earnings.
To address this, we meticulously adjust your financial statements to highlight your discretionary earnings instead of merely relying on taxable earnings.
This approach results in demonstrating higher earnings, which can lead to a more favorable sales price.
#3. Customer Reach
When considering the sale of your business in Tampa, Florida, it is crucial to understand that potential buyers can originate from a wide range of locations.
At Lobo Business Sales LLC, we have an extensive customer network. Our affiliations with the Business Brokers of Florida and the International Business Brokers Association significantly broaden our cooperative buyer pool.
This network includes individuals interested in owner-operated businesses, private equity firms aiming to acquire and scale companies, and strategic buyers seeking roll-up acquisitions.
#4. Research Analytics
In our comprehensive business brokerage service, we emphasize the importance of being proactive and maintaining a sharp focus.
A crucial component of this approach involves conducting thorough research on the analytics of business listings, rather than passively waiting for inquiries.
By consistently analyzing statistics and data, we can swiftly implement necessary adjustments to the offerings. These adjustments may pertain to pricing, terms, or marketing strategies.
It is essential to recognize that there is a market for quality businesses that are reasonably priced.
By continuously monitoring research analytics, we ensure that we are effectively optimizing your exit strategy.

We Provide a For Sale by Owner Option also.
For individuals who feel confident and capable of managing all the components involved in selling their business once it is introduced to the market, our for sale by owner option can serve as a financially prudent alternative to the conventional business brokerage commission.
Through this service, we equip you with all the initial resources and guide you on the process of directly marketing your business for sale.
The fee for this service is $2500, payable at the commencement of the service engagement.
How much are your commissions?
For our traditional business brokerage listing engagements, we charge a commission that is a sliding scale. This tiered scale is commonly referred to as "Double Lehman Method".
The fee is as follows:
- 10% on 1st Million
- 8% on 2nd Million
- 6% on 3rd Million
- 4% on 4th Million
- 2% on 5th Million
All traditional business brokerage listing engagements have a minimum commission of $20,000. (This would be more than 10% if sales price is below $200K).
How much do you charge for FSBO?
We charge $2500 at time of engagement for our "For Sale by Owner" option.
This can be a cost effective solution for those business owners who are able and willing to handle all aspects of selling their business after being presented to the marketplace.
With this option, we assist in calculating your Seller's Discretionary Earnings, draft your Confidential Information Memorandum and One Page Teaser Sheets.
How much does a Business need to make to sell it?
Although it could be possible to sell any business, we have found most prospective buyers are looking to buy for cash-flow.
There are different levels, but at minimum, most buyers are looking at businesses that make a minimum of $100,000 in net earnings per year.
Our focus at Lobo Business Sales LLC is working with businesses that offer earnings > $100K and up.
(We occasionally work with turn-around businesses for sale, offered as sale of assets only)
