Professional, methodology-driven business valuations for Miami business owners — for M&A exits, partner buyouts, SBA financing, investor rounds, and estate planning.
Business Valuation — Miami
Miami has emerged as one of the most dynamic business markets in the country, attracting a wave of financial services firms, technology companies, and international businesses that have fundamentally reshaped the city's economic profile. Miami's business valuation market reflects that complexity — international buyers bring cross-border deal experience and global comp sets, while domestic PE and strategic acquirers are increasingly active in healthcare, hospitality, and real estate services. Business owners in Miami who are planning a sale or transition need a valuation that accounts for this sophisticated buyer landscape.
Florida's no-income-tax environment and Miami's position as a gateway to Latin American and European capital mean that international buyer interest adds a premium dimension to Miami business valuations. Healthcare services companies, hospitality businesses, and technology firms in South Florida have transacted at strong multiples — and sellers need independent, rigorous analysis to negotiate effectively. Michelet Financial serves Miami business owners across all transaction types and industries.
Valuation Methodology
Miami's business mix — spanning international trade, healthcare, hospitality, real estate services, and technology — demands valuation approaches calibrated to each sector's specific market dynamics and buyer base.
For Miami's healthcare practices, hospitality businesses, and professional services firms, we apply EBITDA multiple analysis using normalized earnings and comparable South Florida transactions. For technology and recurring-revenue businesses, we combine DCF analysis with revenue multiple benchmarks from comparable transactions in Florida and nationally.
Miami's deal market includes both domestic and international transaction comps. We draw on private-company deal data across healthcare, hospitality, real estate services, and technology — weighting comparables from the South Florida market while accounting for the premium international buyers may apply to Miami-based businesses with cross-border revenue or relationships.
For Miami's hospitality businesses, real estate service firms, and companies with significant physical or intangible assets, we layer asset-based analysis alongside income methods. Brandt Michelet's background as a financial strategist at Landry's Inc. — where hotel, restaurant, and entertainment assets across hundreds of locations were core to enterprise value — gives him direct experience with the asset-intensive valuation complexities common in Miami's hospitality and real estate sectors.
