In this episode of Small Biz Florida, we sit down with Terri Sherman, a business intermediary and key player at the Florida Business Exchange. Terri's journey into the world of business brokering is an intriguing tale of serendipity that opens up a whole new world of possibilities for entrepreneurs.
Terri discusses the immense potential of acquiring existing businesses as a path to entrepreneurship. With lower risk and the opportunity to inherit employees, inventory, assets, and leases, this approach is like "flipping cash flow." She highlights how this model reduces risk and provides a shortcut to business ownership.
Discover the valuable role that business brokers play in connecting buyers and sellers, ensuring confidentiality throughout the process. Terri emphasizes that, much like real estate agents for homes, business brokers help entrepreneurs find the right match for their aspirations.
Terri also sheds light on the financing options available, including SBA financing and seller financing, making business acquisition a viable option. She encourages potential buyers to explore existing cash-flowing businesses in sectors they're passionate about.
Listen in to learn how you can leverage Terri's expertise and the Florida Business Exchange to kickstart your entrepreneurial journey and take advantage of the opportunities in the business acquisition landscape. Recorded live at this year’s Florida SBDC Network Small Business Success Summit hosted at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort.
