Sell the Business You Built, and Keep More of What It's Worth
Selling the business you built is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. We guide owners in St. Petersburg, across Tampa Bay, and throughout Florida through it with the discretion and financial rigor of a CPA-led team.
In Brief
Brown Business Advisors guides Tampa Bay and Florida owners through a confidential business sale: a sale-readiness review and value assessment, preparation of financials and deal materials, buyer qualification and outreach, deal structuring focused on after-tax proceeds, offer negotiation, and coordination with your attorney and lender through close.
A Confidential Process Built Around Your Number
We help you understand what your business is worth, prepare it to hold up under buyer scrutiny, and structure the transaction to protect your after-tax proceeds. From the first conversation to the closing table, the process stays confidential and stays centered on your goals, not a rushed timeline.
What's Included
- Sale readiness review and value assessment
- Confidential preparation of financials and deal materials
- Buyer qualification and outreach coordination
- Deal structuring focused on after-tax proceeds
- Offer evaluation and negotiation support
- Coordination with your attorney and lender through close

Sell Your Business, Answered
How long does it take to sell a business?
It varies with the business, the buyer pool, and how prepared the financials are. Preparation is the stage owners most often underestimate, and it is the stage that most affects both the timeline and the final price.
Will my employees and customers find out I'm selling?
Not from us. Confidentiality is managed throughout: buyers are screened and bound before they see sensitive information, and the process is structured to protect the business while it is on the market.
What is the difference between the sale price and what I actually keep?
Tax and deal structure, and often a very large difference. Structuring the transaction to protect your after-tax proceeds is a core part of a CPA-led sale, and it is why the same headline price can be worth materially different amounts to you.
