Your Business. Maximum Value.
Expert business brokerage, valuation, franchise consulting, and M&A advisory services across Florida.
Experienced Broker? We Want You.
You know business brokerage. You've closed deals. You've built relationships. But technology? Paperwork? Marketing? That's where most brokers lose time and money. Not here.
Here's the deal.
I'm Jon Shilalis — broker, owner, and someone who specializes in AI and technology. I've built systems that handle the stuff most brokers hate: the CRM updates, the marketing materials, the listing presentations, the follow-ups, the data entry, the compliance paperwork.
I'm looking for a business broker who has the experience and the relationships but doesn't want to deal with the tech side. Someone who'd rather spend their time doing what actually makes money — bringing deals and closing them.
You bring the deals. I handle everything else. No learning new software. No figuring out AI tools. No late nights doing admin work. I do all the dirty work so you can focus on what you do best.
Make More Money
Focus 100% on revenue-generating activities. No more hours lost to admin, marketing, or tech headaches.
Save Massive Time
AI-powered systems handle listings, marketing, CRM, follow-ups, and paperwork — automatically.
Zero Tech Required
Don't know AI? Don't care about tech? Perfect. That's literally my job. You just broker.
Don't Retire Early
Love the game but hate the grind? Work smarter, not harder. Stay in the business longer because the busywork is gone.
Who This Is For
An experienced business broker who knows how to find and close deals but is tired of the administrative grind. You don't need to be tech-savvy — in fact, it's better if you're not. That's what makes this partnership work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about buying, selling, and valuing businesses.
The typical timeline is 6 to 12 months, depending on the industry, asking price, business financials, and market conditions. Well-prepared businesses with clean books and strong cash flow tend to sell faster.
Business value is determined through multiple methodologies including income-based (capitalization of earnings, discounted cash flow), market-based (comparable transactions), and asset-based approaches. We provide a detailed valuation report tailored to your specific business.
We use blind profiles, require NDAs from all prospective buyers before sharing detailed information, and control information flow throughout the process. Your employees, customers, and competitors never learn about the sale until you're ready.
Fees vary based on the size and complexity of the transaction. Most engagements include a success-based commission. We provide a transparent fee structure during our initial consultation—no hidden costs.
While not required, a professional broker typically achieves 20-30% higher sale prices, maintains confidentiality, qualifies buyers properly, and manages the complex legal and financial process—allowing you to focus on running your business during the sale.
We represent a wide range of businesses across industries including restaurants, retail, professional services, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, technology, and franchise operations throughout Florida.
Franchises come with a proven system, training, and brand recognition, but require franchise fees and ongoing royalties. An independent business offers more freedom but requires building systems from scratch. We help you evaluate which path aligns with your goals.
