FLORIDA M&A ADVISORS

Darrell Jones rapid rise of success selling Florida Businesses has made him one of the top producing Business Brokers and M&A Advisors in the country. Darrell’s competitive athletic background has seamlessly transitioned into the M&A workplace making him a force that seems to be rarely denied.

(Specializing in Middle Market Businesses with Revenues from $4 million to $250 million)

With a concentration within the State of Florida, Darrell has established himself as a prime source of Florida's Lower Middle to Middle Market Acquisition Targets (Revenues from $4,000,000 to $250,000,000) for many of the Nations Institutional Buyers. Darrell does represent some select Main Street priced bolt-on businesses that are industry target locations for his larger Strategic Buyer clients. Additionally, Darrell also markets to Wealthy US Families as well as Foreign National Families moving to the United States through our Governments USCIS Legal Immigration Visa Programs.

Using a multitude of worldwide marketing techniques, Darrell personally handles each and every buyer contact for his selling clients. Darrell also routinely limits the number of client engagements so to keep the practices quality of work at a level beholding to his clients.

“100% Closing Ratio"

Five years ago, since moving his practice towards selling only larger businesses, Darrell has a closing rate of 100% of all Lower to Mid-Market business listings. (with the exception of three businesses that were taken off the market due to a large fatal accident lawsuit, a very misstated financial statement, and a massive unforeseen drop in revenues due to mother nature, all three businesses will be put back on the market after they have been stabilized).

Florida, as well as Orlando is home to one of the United States' best economies. Here in 2024, since the beginning of Covid, we are still seeing over "4000 people a day" moving to Florida. This growth provides a particularly welcoming environment for retail and service businesses that are looking to grow in conjunction with the booming tourism and real estate industries. Because of these positives, my success of selling "Economically Uncorrelated" Florida Businesses has exploded.

Sell a Tourism / Citrus Business

Tourism - My home office here in Florida is based in Orlando. As one of the most visited cities in the world, one might expect a lot of Tourism Based Businesses as well as Convention Businesses. Some of our most sold Tourist/Convention related businesses are Tour Guides, Vacation Property Management, Tourist Transportation, Hotels, Restaurants, Theme Parks, Convention Related Businesses, Timeshare related businesses, and of course a plethora of Souvenir Shops.

Citrus - Combine my late father being the Director of Agriculture for Florida for 38 years with Florida being one of largest growers of Citrus in the world, and you see why it would be an honor for me to list some of Florida’s large Citrus related businesses. These businesses don’t change hands very often, but I usually have a pretty good pulse on who’s buying and selling.

Sell a Childcare Business

After selling quite a few childcare facilities, I understand the nuances of not only what makes a facility great but also what complex issues a buyer or seller may run into with DCF and the State of Florida. These sales have almost become an “art form”of timing for me on the licensing of the Seller leaving and the Buyer/Director taking over. When Real Estate is involved, we generally sell the buyer both the business and the real estate.
