Florida business-for-sale market data

Counted from the crawl of August 19, 2026. Computed from the database when this page was built — not typed in. Refreshed with the weekly crawl.

What the Florida Main Street market actually looks like — computed from every active listing we track, by county and by industry. Prices, owner earnings, multiples, and the number a lender could actually fund. No estimates, no survey, no "industry rule of thumb".

The whole state, through a lender's screen

The steps are cumulative — each applies on top of the last, the way an acquirer actually works a market.

228 of 2,089 — 11%. That is the real size of the financeable, documented Florida market, and it is the number to hold in your head while a listing site tells you how big its index is. How this screen works →

Every figure on this page is seller-reported and unaudited — the checks behind our statistics test arithmetic, not truth. Medians exclude placeholder prices under $10,000. How the screening works →
