Selling a Business with Commercial Property

Many Florida business sales include the commercial real estate where the business operates — a restaurant with its building, a retail store with its storefront, or a manufacturing facility with its warehouse. These deals are more complex than a simple asset sale, but they also offer significant advantages for sellers.

As a licensed Florida Broker Associate, Barrett Henry is qualified to handle both sides of the transaction: the business sale and the real property transfer. This means one broker, one process, one closing — instead of juggling separate agents and timelines.

Why Sell the Property with the Business?

• Higher total price — combined deals often attract buyers willing to pay more for the turnkey package
• Simpler for buyers — no lease negotiation, no landlord approval, no relocation risk
• Faster close — one transaction instead of two separate deals
• Tax advantages — proper allocation between business assets and real property can optimize your tax position

What You Need to Know

Florida law requires a licensed real estate broker to handle any transaction involving real property. For business-with-property sales, the broker must understand both business valuation (SDE/EBITDA multiples, asset appraisal) and commercial real estate valuation (cap rate, NOI, comparables).

Barrett brings 23+ years of real estate experience to these hybrid deals, ensuring both the business and property components are properly valued and structured for the best outcome.
