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

South Florida's business-for-sale market continues to offer compelling opportunities across every price tier — from sub-$100K entry-level deals to seven-figure professional practices. Today's featured listings span Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, covering advertising, tax, pet services, and accounting — four distinct industries, four distinct buyer profiles, all with strong cash flow fundamentals.

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

This Miami-Dade County advertising agency is one of the most compelling entry-level deals currently listed on the Business Brokers of Florida MLS. Operating in South Florida's vibrant marketing and media landscape, the business serves clients who rely on it for ongoing advertising and promotional services — the kind of recurring work that keeps revenue predictable.

The numbers are striking: asking price of $34,900, annual revenue of $36,000, and discretionary cash flow of $29,400. That translates to a 1.2x earnings multiple — meaning a buyer recoups the full purchase price in just over a year from cash flow alone. This is exceptionally rare in any market, let alone South Florida.

For a first-time buyer or an existing marketing professional looking to own their book of business, this deal deserves serious attention. Due diligence should focus on client concentration (how many clients make up the bulk of revenue), contract terms, and whether the seller is willing to provide a transition period. At this price, even modest client retention makes the acquisition highly profitable.

Miami-Dade Tax Practice: $75,000 Asking — 1.5x Earnings Multiple

An established tax practice in Miami-Dade County is available for $75,000 — a price that reflects the seller's motivation and the buyer's opportunity. Tax practices in South Florida benefit from a large, diverse client base of individuals and small businesses, many of whom return year after year for filing and advisory services.

This practice generates $93,060 in annual revenue and $48,827 in discretionary cash flow, producing a 1.5x earnings multiple. For a licensed CPA or enrolled agent, this acquisition could be immediately accretive — the cash flow nearly covers the purchase price in under two years, and there's meaningful upside if the new owner expands services or cross-sells financial planning.

Buyers should scrutinize client retention rates, the age and composition of the client roster, and whether the practice relies heavily on the departing owner's personal relationships. A structured seller transition — even 90 days of overlap — can dramatically reduce client attrition risk and protect the investment.

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

Pet grooming is one of the most resilient service businesses in South Florida. Broward County's dense residential population and high pet ownership rates create a steady, repeat-customer base that holds up even during economic downturns. This established Broward County pet grooming operation is a textbook example of a lifestyle business with real financial substance.

The asking price is $170,000. Annual revenue comes in at $156,034, with discretionary cash flow of $98,740 — a 1.7x earnings multiple. The business generates cash flow that exceeds half its asking price every single year, making this a fast-payback acquisition for an owner-operator willing to work in the business.

The ideal buyer is someone who loves animals and wants to own a community-facing business with loyal clientele. Due diligence priorities: verify appointment volume and repeat booking rates, review lease terms on the grooming facility, and assess whether the current staff would stay post-sale. A buyer who can retain the existing team and client relationships is positioned for a smooth, profitable transition.

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

For buyers seeking a premium professional services acquisition in South Florida, this Palm Beach County CPA practice represents a rare combination of scale, profitability, and reasonable valuation. Palm Beach County's affluent client base — including high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and established businesses — supports the kind of deep, long-term client relationships that make accounting practices so valuable.

The practice is listed at $900,000, with annual revenue of $688,247 and discretionary cash flow of $468,837. The 1.9x earnings multiple is well below the industry norm for established CPA firms, which often trade at 2.5x to 4x revenue. A buyer acquiring at this multiple is getting a significant discount to market, with a cash-on-cash return that begins paying back the investment in under two years.

This is a deal for a licensed CPA or accounting firm looking to expand its South Florida footprint. Key due diligence areas include the age and tenure of the client base, staff credentials and retention, the mix of compliance versus advisory work, and any client concentration risk. Given the asking price relative to cash flow, a well-structured SBA loan could make this acquisition highly leverageable with minimal out-of-pocket capital.

The Bottom Line
