From Florida Roots to a Multi-State M&A Advisory Firm

Sailfish Equity Advisors began over 25 years ago on the shores of Florida’s Emerald Coast. Founded as Destin Business Brokers, the firm has grown from a local transactional partner to a multi-state M&A advisory firm serving business owners across Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah.

Our mission has never changed—we help business owners unlock maximum value from their life's work—but our reach, resources, and results have grown exponentially under Sarah and Rajiv’s stewardship.

Strategic Partners in Growth, Exit, and Legacy

Rajiv Khatri

With a background in scaling startups to $50M+ and executing high-level exits, Rajiv is a master strategist and negotiator who understands the financial, emotional, and operational nuances of selling a business. He’s built and sold companies across multiple sectors—digital media, e-commerce, travel, and more—and brings that real-world knowledge to the table with every client.

Rajiv’s global network of private equity firms and strategic buyers allows Sailfish to unlock deal opportunities many local firms simply can’t reach.

Sarah Khatri

A marketing visionary and global leadership coach, Sarah brings over 20 years of entrepreneurial and branding expertise to every client engagement. Her strategic insight helps business owners stand out in competitive markets and attract top-dollar offers. As a certified John Maxwell trainer, Sarah has coached leaders around the world, and she now uses that same empowerment-driven approach to guide business owners through one of the most important transitions of their lives.

Sarah is passionate about creating outcomes that are not only profitable, but purposeful—and she’s deeply committed to uplifting underrepresented voices and women in leadership.

Together, Sarah and Rajiv offer the perfect blend of marketing brilliance, financial acumen, and mission-driven leadership.
