PENSACOLA BUSINESS BROKERS

Exit Strategy Planning

Turn Your Business Legacy into Your Freedom Fund

Your business isn’t just your livelihood—it’s potentially your biggest retirement asset. But here’s the million-dollar question: Is it ready to sell when you’re ready to leave?

Most business owners are caught unprepared. They’ve built something valuable but haven’t prepared it for the ultimate transaction. The result? Leaving money on the table or worse—finding no buyers at all.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Business Exits

87% of business owners have no exit strategy. They hope things will work out when it’s time to move on. Hope isn’t a strategy—especially when your future depends on it.

Think about it: You wouldn’t launch a business without a plan, so why exit without one?

What's Your Business Actually Worth?

That number in your head? It’s probably wrong. Most owners overestimate or underestimate their company’s value, leading to painful surprises when it’s time to sell. We translate your years of hard work into maximum market value—because knowing your true worth changes everything about your exit timeline and retirement possibilities.

Client Testimonials

"I contacted PBB about listing my business 'Don Alans,' and we started evaluating what my business was worth and if it met my expectations to retire comfortably. After a full review, we established a fair market value that was accurate and took my business to market. After only a short period of time, we had multiple offers on the table to purchase 'Don Alans.' Not only did Frank and his team help me sell my business to a very savvy couple, I occasionally put on my suit and helped them out on the store floor and see all the improvements they had made.

I am pleased with the outcome and how easy Pensacola Business Brokers made it to sell my business".

"We owned "Built Rite Signs" for 20+ years and were ready to retire so we contacted PBB about selling our company and real property. Frank and his team helped us understand the process of selling a business and how complicated it can be to help the buyer obtain funding. Frank's ability to communicate with accountants, lenders and lawyers made us genuinely value how important it is to have a knowledgeable broker representing us through the process. We had no idea how many steps would be required before we had a sales agreement.

We recommend Frank and his team to anyone that wants to sell their business".
