Our St. Petersburg business brokers have experience selling businesses in manufacturing, distribution, retail, restaurants, hospitality, professional services, and skilled trades, including HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, construction, landscaping, cleaning, and many other industries.
While every business is unique, the core process of selling a business remains consistent. We tailor our marketing strategy, valuation, and transaction approach to your industry, business size, and goals.
Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of selling a business. Murphy Business protects your identity by creating confidential marketing materials and anonymous business listings that never reveal your company's name or identifying details.
Prospective buyers must first sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before receiving confidential information. We also carefully screen each buyer for financial capability, experience, and genuine interest before sharing sensitive business details, helping protect your employees, customers, suppliers, and day-to-day operations.
Every business receives a customized, confidential marketing strategy designed to reach qualified buyers while protecting your identity.
We prepare a professional Confidential Business Review that highlights your company's strengths, financial performance, operations, and growth opportunities. After qualified buyers sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, they receive additional information about your business.
Your business is marketed through Murphy Business's national network of brokers, qualified buyer database, business-for-sale marketplaces, and targeted outreach to prospective buyers. Every inquiry is personally screened to ensure buyers have both the financial ability and genuine interest to complete an acquisition.
Your business will be confidentially promoted through Murphy Business's network and several leading business-for-sale websites that attract qualified buyers. We continually evaluate where your business will receive the greatest exposure while maintaining confidentiality throughout the marketing process.
Every transaction is unique, but many business sales take between six and twelve months from listing to closing. Timing depends on factors such as business size, industry, valuation, buyer demand, financing, and the complexity of due diligence.
