Is your Florida business worth what you THINK it's worth? 🤔

Most owners guess. The ones who sell for maximum value. they know the difference between SDE and EBITDA — and why it matters MORE than the number on your tax return.

Here's a quick breakdown of what's driving valuations in Florida RIGHT NOW:

📊 SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings). This is your go-to metric for businesses under $1M in value. It adds back your salary, personal perks, and one-time expenses to show what the business truly earns for its owner.

📈 EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization). Used for larger, more institutionally structured businesses. Buyers and PE groups live by this number.

🏝️ Florida Market Snapshot. 2026:
• EBITDA multiples are ranging 3x–6x depending on industry, size, and transferability
• Buyer demand is UP. especially from international investors and E-2 visa seekers
• Businesses with clean books and documented processes are commanding PREMIUM multiples
• Sellers who prep 12–18 months in advance consistently close higher

The valuation gap is real. Two businesses with identical revenue can sell for VERY different prices based on how they're structured, documented, and presented to buyers.

That's exactly where we come in.

At KMF Business Advisors, we've closed over $850M in transactions across Florida. We don't just give you a number. we give you a strategy.

Ever wonder why you’re grinding through the weekend while everyone else is relaxing? 📂

I see it all the time with the business owners I work with across Florida. You’re the first one in and the last one out, even on a Sunday afternoon.

But here’s the reality: that grind has a purpose. The goal isn't just to keep the lights on: it’s to build a valuable asset that eventually pays for your total freedom.

A smart exit strategy is the ultimate ticket to making every single day feel exactly like a Sunday. ⚓

Imagine:
☀️ More time on the boat without checking your phone.
🌴 Mornings without an alarm clock.
⛳ Mid-week rounds of golf because you can.

Transitioning from "Owner" to "Retired" or "Serial Investor" doesn't happen by accident. It requires a solid valuation, a clean set of books, and a strategic plan to get you the maximum value for your hard work.

If you’re ready to start mapping out what your "Every Day is Sunday" looks like, let’s talk. DM me “SUNDAY” for a confidential chat about what your business is worth today.

Thinking about selling your uBreakiFix franchise in Florida? 🛠️

The tech repair industry is moving fast, and if you’re eyeing the exit, you need more than a "for sale" sign. You need a roadmap. 📂

In the first part of our series on uBreakiFix exits, we’re looking at what actually drives your valuation beyond just the daily foot traffic.

🔑 Key Value Drivers:
• National Accounts: Your steady stream of corporate and insurance repairs is a goldmine for buyers looking for predictable, recurring revenue.
• Transfer Fees: Don't let these catch you off guard. Understanding the franchise agreement and transfer costs early prevents deal-drifting later. 🤐

Selling a franchise in Florida involves navigating BBF MLS listings and maintaining iron-clad confidentiality to protect your staff and customers. ⚠️
