At KMF Business Advisors, we guide Florida business owners through the critical stages of deal negotiation and deal structuring—ensuring your transaction is financially optimized, legally protected, and aligned with your long-term goals.
Negotiating a business sale requires more than understanding price. Buyers, lenders, and attorneys evaluate dozens of components that can impact the total deal value, the tax implications, and the success of the transaction.
Our role is to help you secure the best possible terms, minimize risk, and bring your deal to a successful closing.
A strong negotiation strategy helps business owners:
Maximize the purchase price
Improve deal terms, structure, and timeline
Protect seller interests
Reduce risk exposure
Increase buyer commitment
Secure lender-approved deal frameworks
Achieve a smooth post-sale transition
We serve as your advocate—representing your goals during every stage of communication with buyers, lenders, attorneys, and accountants.
A business sale involves multiple components that must be negotiated.
We ensure every part of the deal is built in your favor.
We negotiate price based on:
Market comps
Financial performance (SDE / EBITDA)
Adjusted add-backs
Industry multiples
Risk profile
Buyer type (strategic, financial, or individual)
Goal: get you the highest defensible price supported by data.
We help determine the best structure based on:
Tax implications
Liability protection
Asset allocation
Depreciation schedules
Buyer financing requirements
Most small business transactions in Florida use asset sales, but we negotiate based on what benefits you most.
We protect you against risky or unnecessary post-closing terms.
We negotiate limits on:
Earnout percentages
Performance milestones
Working capital adjustments
Holdback durations
Contingent liabilities
Goal: reduce uncertainty and secure guaranteed value
When seller financing is required, we negotiate:
Interest rates
Repayment terms
Collateral requirements
Default protections
Personal guarantees
