Business Brokers in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Fort Lauderdale is the heart of Broward’s economy — a marine, hospitality, and professional-services powerhouse. If you own a business here and are considering an exit, or you’re looking to buy, WhiteHorse Capital Partners offers confidential, bilingual, locally-rooted brokerage from valuation to closing.
Selling a Business in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is the marine and yachting capital of the U.S., with a deep base of marine services, boat sales and repair, and marine-adjacent trade through Port Everglades. Layered on top are tourism and hospitality, healthcare, construction, technology, and professional and financial services. That variety keeps buyer demand strong — and means each business needs a broker who can position it to the right audience. We value your business realistically, market it confidentially, and manage the deal to a clean close.
Confidentiality is built into everything we do. Your employees, customers, and competitors don’t find out you’re selling until you decide they should — buyers sign NDAs before they ever see your identity or financials.

What Is Your Fort Lauderdale Business Worth?
Value comes down to more than last year’s revenue. We look at your adjusted earnings (SDE/EBITDA), recurring revenue, customer concentration, lease and location, systems and staff, and current buyer demand for your industry in South Florida. The result is a defensible broker’s opinion of value — and a plan to strengthen the drivers that move your number before we go to market.
Buying a Business in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale Business Broker FAQ
- Do you sell marine and hospitality businesses?
- Yes — marine services, boatyards, restaurants, and hospitality businesses are central to what we broker in Fort Lauderdale, alongside professional and service firms.
- How much do business brokers charge?
- Most Main Street sales run on a success fee (often ~8–12%) paid only at closing; larger deals are structured to fit. We explain our fee clearly before you commit.
- Will my staff and customers find out I’m selling?
- Not until you decide. Buyers sign NDAs before learning anything that identifies your business.
