Business brokers in Fort Myers, FL

Waddell Mergers & Acquisitions is headquartered in Fort Myers, helping Lee County owners sell established businesses confidentially and for maximum value.

Lee County

The Fort Myers market

Fort Myers anchors one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country. Lee County’s economy runs on healthcare (led by Lee Health), a booming construction and home-services sector, tourism and hospitality, and a deep bench of professional-services firms. Post-Hurricane Ian rebuilding accelerated demand across the trades, and sustained population growth continues to draw buyers—from private-equity platforms to relocating operators—looking to acquire well-run local companies.

FAQ

Selling a business in Fort Myers: FAQ

Do you only work with Fort Myers businesses?

No—Fort Myers is our home base, but we represent owners across Southwest Florida and beyond, including Naples, Cape Coral, and Sarasota. Our local roots simply give us an edge on SWFL valuations and buyers.

What size businesses do you sell?

We focus on established companies with roughly $2M–$200M+ in annual revenue. If you’re not sure whether you’re a fit, a quick confidential call will tell you.

How do you keep my sale confidential in a tight-knit market?

Every buyer is screened and signs an NDA before learning your identity, and details are released in stages—so your team, customers, and competitors don’t find out prematurely.
