Brian Zoberg,
Suncoast Business Consultants provides access to thousands of businesses for sale at any given time, ranging from small home-based operations to multi-million dollar enterprises. Many of these listings are available on our website, which is updated daily. However, some opportunities remain off-market as “pocket listings,” meaning sellers prefer discreet transactions. Our firm can help you navigate these listings to find the right business for you and your family.
Additionally, we offer businesses that may qualify for SBA loans, enabling you to leverage your investment while potentially securing a strong cash-on-cash return after debt service. We can connect you with trusted banks and loan brokers to assist in securing SBA financing across Miami and South Florida.
We serve local, out-of-state, and international buyers. To simplify your search, businesses are categorized by industry, price, and key factors. Many of our listings qualify for E2, L1, or EB-5 visas or have been pre-approved for SBA financing.
Buying a Business: General Process
Identify businesses of interest from our website.

Receive confidential business details for further evaluation.

Review additional information and submit an offer. The seller may accept, reject, or counter your offer.
Enter escrow and conduct due diligence upon offer acceptance. If applicable, initiate loan applications and lease transfer processes.
Complete due diligence and satisfy any lease, licensing, or visa requirements before finalizing the purchase.
Finalize the transaction and begin training, ensuring a smooth transition into business ownership.
This outline provides a general overview—the complexity of the process varies based on the type of business being acquired. Suncoast Business Consultants is here to guide you every step of the way.
