4 South Florida Business Deals: Advertising, Agriculture, Pet Grooming & Accounting

South Florida's business-for-sale market continues to offer compelling opportunities across a wide range of industries and price points. Today's deal spotlight covers four listings — from a sub-$35K advertising play in Miami-Dade to a nearly $1M Palm Beach accounting practice — each with earnings multiples well below the national average for their sector. Here's what's on the table right now.

Miami-Dade Advertising Agency: $34,900 Asking — 1.2x Cash Flow Multiple

This Miami-Dade County advertising agency is one of the most unusual value propositions to hit the BBF MLS in recent memory. The business operates in the advertising and marketing services space, serving clients in the greater Miami area, and is listed at just $34,900 — a price point more commonly associated with equipment purchases than operating businesses.

The numbers are striking: annual revenue of $36,000 with discretionary cash flow of $29,400, yielding an earnings multiple of just 1.2x. In practical terms, a buyer could recoup the entire purchase price in roughly 14 months from cash flow alone. Annual revenue and cash flow are nearly identical, indicating a lean, low-overhead operation with strong margins.

For the right buyer — a freelance marketer, a small agency looking to bolt on a client book, or an entrepreneur entering the advertising space — this deal offers an exceptionally low barrier to entry with immediate cash flow. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (how many clients make up the bulk of revenue), contract transferability, and whether the current owner's relationships are the primary driver of business. If the client base is diversified and contracts are assignable, this is a rare find at this price.

Broward County Agricultural Business: $100,000 Asking — 1.5x Earnings Multiple

An established agricultural business in Broward County is available for $100,000, offering a 1.5x earnings multiple that stands out in any market environment. Agricultural businesses in South Florida benefit from the region's year-round growing season and proximity to major distribution networks serving both local restaurants and national supply chains.

This listing reports annual revenue of $188,800 with discretionary cash flow of $66,556 — a healthy 35% cash flow margin. The 1.5x multiple means a buyer is paying roughly $1.50 for every dollar of annual earnings, well below the 2x–3x range typical for small service businesses. The asking price of $100,000 places this firmly in the entry-level tier, accessible to first-time buyers or investors seeking a tangible, asset-backed operation.

The ideal buyer is someone with agricultural knowledge or a willingness to learn the operational side of the business, combined with the drive to expand distribution relationships. Key due diligence areas include reviewing supplier contracts, understanding seasonal revenue patterns, verifying equipment condition, and confirming any required licenses or permits are current and transferable. At this multiple, even modest revenue growth would significantly increase the business's value.

Broward County Pet Grooming Business: $170,000 Asking — 1.7x Cash Flow Multiple

Pet grooming is one of the most resilient service categories in South Florida's small business market — pet owners consistently prioritize grooming services even during economic downturns. This Broward County pet grooming business is listed at $170,000 and has the financials to back up its asking price.

Annual revenue comes in at $156,034 with discretionary cash flow of $98,740, representing a 63% cash flow margin — exceptional for a service business. The 1.7x earnings multiple is well below the 2.5x–3.5x range that grooming businesses with established clientele typically command. A buyer at this price is acquiring a cash-flowing operation with strong unit economics from day one.

This deal is ideal for an owner-operator with a passion for animals, or an existing grooming professional looking to own rather than work for someone else. It could also appeal to a multi-location operator seeking to add a Broward County footprint. Due diligence priorities: verify the client appointment book and repeat customer rate, review lease terms and renewal options, confirm staff retention plans, and assess whether the current owner's personal relationships drive a significant portion of bookings. The combination of strong margins and a below-market multiple makes this one of the more attractive mid-tier deals in today's South Florida market.

Palm Beach County Accounting Practice: $900,000 Asking — 1.9x Earnings Multiple

For buyers seeking a premium professional services acquisition, this Palm Beach County accounting practice represents a compelling opportunity in one of Florida's wealthiest markets. Accounting firms in Palm Beach County serve a client base that includes high-net-worth individuals, family offices, real estate investors, and established businesses — a demographic that generates consistent, recurring fee revenue year after year.

The practice is listed at $900,000 with annual revenue of $688,247 and discretionary cash flow of $468,837 — a 68% cash flow margin that reflects the high-value, low-overhead nature of professional services. The 1.9x earnings multiple is notably attractive for an accounting practice; industry norms for CPA and accounting firm acquisitions typically range from 1x to 1.5x of annual revenue (or 2x–4x of earnings), making this listing competitively priced relative to its cash flow generation.

The ideal acquirer is a licensed CPA or accounting professional — either an individual practitioner looking to scale, or a regional firm seeking to expand into the Palm Beach market. Buyers should focus due diligence on client retention history (what percentage of clients renew annually), the nature of client relationships (are they tied to the current owner or to the firm?), staff qualifications and retention, and the mix of recurring vs. one-time engagements. A well-structured earnout or seller financing arrangement could bridge any valuation gap and align incentives for a smooth transition. At 1.9x cash flow, this practice offers a strong foundation for a buyer ready to invest in Palm Beach County's professional services market.

The Bottom Line

Today's South Florida deal spotlight covers four businesses — spanning advertising, agriculture, pet grooming, and accounting — all priced at earnings multiples between 1.2x and 1.9x. These are the kinds of deals that don't stay on the market long. Whether you're a first-time buyer with $35,000 or an experienced operator ready to invest $900,000 in a premium practice, there's a real opportunity here worth exploring.
