4 South Florida Business Deals: Ad Agency, Plant Leasing, Pet Grooming & CPA Under $1M

South Florida's business-for-sale market continues to offer compelling opportunities across every price tier. Today's BBF MLS data surfaces four deals spanning Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties — each with strong cash flow relative to asking price and a clear path to ownership for the right buyer.

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

This Miami-Dade County advertising agency is one of the most affordable business acquisitions currently listed on the Business Brokers of Florida MLS. At just $34,900, it sits firmly in entry-level territory — yet it punches well above its weight class in financial performance.

The numbers are striking: annual revenue of $36,000 and discretionary cash flow of $29,400 produce 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. Revenue and cash flow are tightly aligned, suggesting a lean, efficient operation with minimal overhead.

This deal is ideal for a first-time buyer, a marketing professional looking to own their book of business, or an existing agency seeking a bolt-on acquisition. Due diligence should focus on client contract transferability, the nature of recurring versus project-based revenue, and whether key relationships are tied to the current owner. At this price point, even a partial client retention scenario likely justifies the investment.

Broward County Plant Leasing & Maintenance Business: $100,000 Asking — 1.5x Multiple

An established Broward County plant leasing and maintenance business is available for $100,000 — a niche service sector that benefits from recurring, contract-based revenue from commercial clients. Interior plant leasing is a steady, relationship-driven business with low customer churn and predictable cash flows.

The financials support the asking price: $188,800 in annual revenue with $66,556 in discretionary cash flow, yielding a 1.5x earnings multiple. The revenue-to-cash-flow ratio indicates healthy margins for a service business, and the asking price is well within reach for an owner-operator or small business investor.

The ideal buyer is someone with a green thumb and a service mindset — or simply a business-savvy operator who can manage a small crew. This type of business thrives on client relationships and route efficiency. Due diligence should examine contract lengths, client concentration, and equipment condition. At 1.5x, the risk-adjusted return is attractive for a hands-on owner.

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

The pet care industry continues to be one of the most recession-resistant sectors in South Florida, and this Broward County pet grooming business exemplifies why. With a loyal, repeat-visit clientele and a proven service model, this practice offers a stable income stream for an owner-operator.

Asking price is $170,000 against $156,034 in annual revenue and $98,740 in discretionary cash flow — a 1.7x earnings multiple. The cash flow margin is exceptional for a retail service business, reflecting strong pricing power and operational efficiency. A buyer could expect to service any acquisition financing and still take home a meaningful salary from day one.

This listing suits a groomer looking to own their own shop, an entrepreneur entering the pet services space, or an existing multi-location operator adding a Broward County location. Key due diligence items: lease terms and transferability, staff retention (especially licensed groomers), and appointment book depth. The 1.7x multiple leaves meaningful upside for a buyer who can grow the client base.

Palm Beach County CPA Practice: $900,000 Asking — 1.9x Cash Flow Multiple

For buyers seeking a premium professional services acquisition, this Palm Beach County CPA practice represents one of the most compelling opportunities in today's market. Accounting practices are among the most defensible businesses available — clients are sticky, revenue is recurring, and the barrier to entry for competitors is high.

The financials are robust: $688,247 in annual revenue with $468,837 in discretionary cash flow, producing a 1.9x earnings multiple on the $900,000 asking price. This is a well-priced acquisition for a CPA firm of this caliber — industry norms for accounting practice sales often run 1.0x–1.5x annual revenue, making this asking price reasonable relative to the cash flow generated.

The ideal buyer is a licensed CPA or accounting firm looking to expand their Palm Beach County footprint, or a private equity-backed roll-up platform targeting professional services. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (no single client should represent more than 15–20% of revenue), staff credentials and retention, and the seller's transition plan. A well-structured earnout or seller financing arrangement can bridge any valuation gap and align incentives through the transition period.

The Bottom Line

Today's BBF MLS data shows that South Florida's business-for-sale market offers genuine value at every price point — from a $34,900 Miami-Dade advertising agency with a 1.2x multiple to a $900,000 Palm Beach CPA practice generating nearly half a million in annual cash flow. The common thread: strong earnings relative to asking price, and businesses with real, recurring revenue.
