We focus on South Florida—Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties—where we’ve closed hundreds of deals ranging from $100K to $25M in value.

Our team includes former business owners and corporate professionals who understand the local market, buyer expectations, and how to position businesses to sell at the best possible price and terms. We provide valuation guidance using recast financials and market comps, help package and present the business, and manage the deal process from listing through closing.

We work across most industries, including service, manufacturing, distribution, construction, healthcare, e-commerce, and hospitality. Amerivest brokers are active members of the Business Brokers of Florida (BBF) and M&A Source, and we co-broke with over 1,000 qualified professionals.

We operate with a simple principle: do things the right way, no pressure, no shortcuts—just honest advice, efficient execution, and a commitment to your success.
