Helping Business Owners Sell, Scale, and Succeed

Welcome to Sailfish Equity Advisors, Florida’s trusted business broker and M&A advisor for lower middle market companies. With over 25 years of real-world entrepreneurial experience, we specialize in helping business owners unlock maximum value through strategic sales, thoughtful scaling, and expert deal execution.

Our team has successfully closed over 1,000 business transactions—ranging from sub-$1M main street sales to complex M&A deals exceeding $10 million. This broad experience gives us the unique ability to tailor our approach based on each client's goals, industry, and deal size. We've seen what works, what doesn't, and how to position your business for maximum market appeal.

Whether you're ready to sell now, planning for a future exit, or actively seeking acquisition opportunities, Sailfish brings hands-on insight, a vast buyer and seller network, and proven, data-driven strategies to every transaction.

And because we operate on a 100% success-based model, we don’t get paid until your deal closes—aligning our incentives fully with your outcome. We’re not just brokers. We’re your partners in growth, transition, and legacy.

Why Work with a Florida Business Broker and M&A Advisor?

Selling or buying a business is more than a financial transaction—it’s a personal, emotional, and strategic milestone. As experienced Florida business brokers and M&A advisors, we help you navigate the complexity with clarity, confidentiality, and confidence.

Over the past 25 years, we’ve worked with a wide range of industries, each with its own unique dynamics and valuation drivers. We specialize in:

• Construction and trades – including commercial contractors, HVAC, roofing, and specialty subcontractors

• Healthcare and medical practices – such as clinics, home health agencies, behavioral health, and dental offices

• Tech-enabled businesses – from SaaS companies to IT services and digital platforms

• Professional and B2B services – including marketing agencies, logistics firms, and consulting companies

• Retail and consumer brands – brick-and-mortar, e-commerce, and franchise operations

• Manufacturing and distribution – light manufacturing, food production, and regional distribution companies

• Marine, recreation, and lifestyle businesses – especially in coastal and tourism-driven markets

• Financial and real estate services – mortgage firms, insurance agencies, and property management companies

With Sailfish Equity Advisors, you get the sophistication of an M&A advisor combined with the personal attention of a boutique Florida brokerage. We know the landscape, the industries, and—most importantly—how to position your business to achieve the best possible outcome.
