Tampa Business Sales

Why Small Business Owners Should Choose CEPA and Michael Shea for Their Business Sale

February 21, 2025 by Michael Shea PA

Studies show CEPA-led exits can boost business value by 20-50% compared to unplanned sales. For a Tampa small business worth $300,000, that’s an extra $60,000 to $150,000 in your pocket. That’s real money—and I’m trained to get it for you.

Value Creation for Small Business Owners: Exit Earlier and Build Personal Wealth

February 21, 2025 by Michael Shea PA

Imagine this: You’re 55, not 65, and you’ve just sold your Tampa business for 50% more than you expected. That extra $100,000, $200,000, or more isn’t just profit—it’s freedom. It’s paying off your mortgage, investing in real estate, or funding a passion project. Value creation isn’t abstract; it’s the difference between an okay exit and a life-changing one.

February 21, 2025 by Michael Shea PA

A Tampa pizza parlor with $500,000 in annual revenue and a 15% profit margin might fetch 2-3 times its earnings—around $150,000-$225,000. Bump that margin to 20% and show consistent growth, and you could push the multiplier to 3.5 or more, nearing $350,000. That’s already a hefty jump.

How to Find a Business For Sale In Tampa: A Guide

February 17, 2025 by Michael Shea PA

Business brokerage offices can be talking to hundreds of entrepreneurs a month to see where they are at in their exit process. Often a  brokerage or investment banking firm will receive a business for sale and already have buyers lined up in their database ready to go. If you are one of those buyers, you will have first shot at deals before they go to market! So, knowing the right business broker or investment banker in your target geography or industry is critical.
