Meet Your Business Broker in Tampa
Dave Britton, CBI
I’m Dave Britton, Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) and owner of Lobo Business Sales LLC, a veteran-owned business brokerage serving business owners throughout the Tampa Bay area and across Florida.
I specialize in helping small to lower middle-market business owners understand what their business is worth, prepare for sale, and successfully transition ownership with confidence and confidentiality.
My focus is on businesses generating strong cash flow, typically with $200,000+ in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, where strategic planning and professional representation make a real difference in the outcome.
Selling a business is one of the most important financial decisions an owner will ever make. My role is to provide straightforward guidance, accurate valuation insight, and a disciplined process that protects value and helps owners exit on the best possible terms.
Whether you are ready to sell now or simply planning ahead, the right strategy starts with knowing your numbers.
When I’m not helping business owners navigate successful exits, I enjoy rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning, and relaxing with a cold Dr Pepper.

Thinking of Selling Your Small Business in Tampa, Florida or Nationally for Digital Based Businesses?
We Have Active, Qualified Buyers Looking Right Now
If you’re a Tampa Bay business owner considering a sale, timing matters — and right now, buyer demand is strong.
At Lobo Business Sales LLC, we work with a deep bench of active, qualified buyers who are consistently searching for well-run businesses throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties, particularly companies generating $200,000+ in annual earnings.
Our current buyer pool includes:
-
Local owner-operators — for example, a Tampa-based manager with deep industry experience looking to acquire and personally operate a profitable business
-
International buyers pursuing an E-2 Investor Visa, typically seeking established Florida businesses with stable cash flow and clean financials
-
Well-funded Private Equity Groups from our national network, targeting higher-end companies with minimum EBITDA of $500K, with a strong preference for $2MM+ EBITDA opportunities
Because these buyers are pre-qualified, capital-backed, and actively searching, we’re able to move efficiently once the right business comes to market. This isn’t about testing the waters — it’s about matching serious sellers with buyers who have the financial capacity, experience, and intent to close.
If you’ve been wondering whether there’s real demand for businesses like yours, the answer is yes. In many cases, the right buyer may already be looking.
Curious where your business fits?
Schedule a free, no-obligation 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals, your numbers, and whether now is the right time to explore a sale.
Step # 1 - Find out how much your small business is worth with a broker price opinion or a formal business valuation.
Every business is unique, and some may benefit from a full audited business appraisal, while others may suffice with a more economical broker price opinion. The following are available services for you, to determine how much your small business is worth. Order your preferred business evaluation from the available selections below.
Broker Price Opinion
Cost $1,500 | 3-5 business day turnaround
A Broker Price Opinion (BPO) is the most economical way for a business owner to get a realistic estimate of what their business may be worth in today’s market.
While it is not a formal business appraisal, a BPO uses real-world data such as Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and recent comparable business sales to establish a market-driven value range. This process is similar to a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) used in residential real estate, where pricing is based on actual sales rather than theoretical models. In this case, the analysis is grounded in historical transaction data from the Business Brokers of Florida MLS, providing insight based on what buyers have recently paid for similar businesses under comparable conditions.
This is the entry level, most economical solution for general main street businesses that have gross sales < $2 Million in annual revenue.
Standard Valuation Report
Cost $4,000 | 5-7 business day turnaround
The Standard Valuation Report is designed for business owners who are buying or selling companies with under $50 million in annual revenue and want a deeper, professionally prepared opinion of value.
This 35+ page report is completed by a certified appraiser and typically delivered within six days. It includes a comprehensive review of working capital, an estimated market selling price, and a loan affordability analysis based on the business’s available cash flow.
The valuation applies Asset, Market, and Income approaches and incorporates Sales, SDE, and EBITDA multiples, industry benchmarking, owner compensation analysis, debt coverage considerations, and carefully selected financial adjustments.
Each report also includes a recorded video summary and a consultation to walk through the findings and assumptions.
Part A - PreQualified Valuation Report (<$5M)
Cost $5,000 | 5-7 business day turnaround
The PreQualified Valuation Report is built for business owners selling companies with under $50 million in annual revenue who want to attract serious, financially capable buyers and set a defensible asking price. It includes everything found in the Standard Valuation Report, including a 35+ page valuation prepared by a certified appraiser using Asset, Market, and Income approaches, along with Sales, SDE, and EBITDA multiples, industry benchmarking, working capital analysis, owner compensation review, debt coverage evaluation, and a loan affordability assessment based on available cash flow.
What sets this report apart is its financing component.
The PreQualified Report provides conditional loan approval from up to three lenders, establishes a realistic buyer financing range, and delivers a lender decision within approximately ten business days. This helps sellers focus on qualified buyers, shorten negotiation timelines, and significantly reduce the risk of deals collapsing due to financing uncertainty.
Each report also includes a video summary and a consultation with the appraiser, ensuring sellers clearly understand the valuation and how lenders view the opportunity.
Certified Business Valuation Summary Report
Cost $15,000 + | 30 + business day turnaround
The Certified Business Valuation Summary Report offers a professionally prepared, 65+ page valuation that strikes the right balance between depth and clarity for complex business value needs. Created by a NACVA-certified appraiser, this report follows recognized valuation standards and delivers defensible insights using methodologies tailored to reflect your business’s financial picture.
It’s especially useful for high-stakes situations such as mergers & acquisitions, legal or partner disputes, estate planning, IRS submissions, and financing discussions where stakeholders beyond the owner need credible, third-party verification of value.
Unlike shorter valuation products, the Summary Report includes expert-selected valuation methods and comparable data, adjusted financials, and industry context—packaged in a format that’s readable for both financial and non-financial decision-makers.
Because it’s designed for scenarios where accuracy and transparency matter, each report also comes with a personalized video overview and a consultation with the certifying appraiser so you fully understand the conclusions and assumptions behind the valuation.
