Meet Dave Britton, CBI

Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) | Owner, Lobo Business Sales LLC

TAMPA BAY BUSINESS BROKER

I'm Dave Britton, owner of Lobo Business Sales LLC and a Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) with more than 20 years of continuous, active business brokerage experience.

My experience spans a wide range of businesses, from owner-operated local businesses throughout the Tampa Bay area to growing and scaling digital-based businesses across Florida and nationwide. I help business owners understand what their business may be worth, prepare for a potential sale, and navigate the transition of ownership with confidence and confidentiality.

I am an active member of the Business Brokers of Florida (BBF) and the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). I have also served as a past Board Member of the Business Brokers of Florida representing the Tampa Bay Region.

My approach is straightforward: provide owners with honest guidance, practical valuation insight, and a disciplined process so they can make informed decisions about what comes next.

Whether you're considering selling now or simply planning ahead, the right strategy starts with understanding your business, its potential value, and your options.

SELLING YOUR BUSINESS

Selling Your Business Is More Than Finding a Buyer

Selling a business is one of the most important financial decisions an owner will make. The process involves far more than putting a price on the business and finding someone willing to pay it.

Value, preparation, positioning, confidentiality, buyer qualification, financing, due diligence, and negotiation can all influence the outcome.

Our role is to help business owners understand where they stand, prepare for the market, and navigate the transaction with a disciplined process designed to protect value.

Watch the video below to learn more—and when it feels right, reach out.

OUR BUYER NETWORK

Serious Buyers = Better Opportunities for Sellers.

Selling a business isn't simply about finding someone interested. The right buyer needs the financial capacity, experience, and intent to complete a transaction.

Lobo Business Sales LLC maintains a substantial network of registered buyers seeking businesses across a range of industries, sizes, and acquisition strategies.

Our buyer network includes local owner-operators, international buyers pursuing E-2 opportunities, and well-funded acquisition groups seeking larger businesses.

✔️ LOCAL OWNER-OPERATORS
Experienced entrepreneurs and professionals seeking businesses they can actively operate and grow.

✔️ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
Buyers seeking established Florida businesses that may support an E-2 Investor Visa strategy.

✔️ PRIVATE EQUITY & ACQUISITION GROUPS
Well-capitalized groups seeking larger, established companies, with particular interest in businesses generating significant EBITDA.

BUSINESS VALUATION

Know What Your Business Is Worth

Every business is different, and not every owner needs the same level of valuation analysis. Lobo Business Sales LLC offers several ways to understand what a business may be worth, depending on where the owner is in the process and what they are trying to accomplish.

A local sports bar or restaurant owner considering a sale may find that a $1,500 Broker Price Opinion provides the practical market insight needed to establish a realistic value and decide whether now is the right time to sell.

An e-commerce owner who is thinking about cashing out and using the proceeds to pursue an exciting new SaaS opportunity may want to start with the free Lobo Business Estimator to begin planning and understand the potential value of the business.

A manufacturing company in Tampa's Drew Park area with significant commercial real estate, machinery, and heavy equipment may have more complex valuation considerations and could benefit from a formal business appraisal performed by an independent qualified business appraiser.

The right valuation depends on your business, your circumstances, and what you are trying to accomplish.
