What is Sunbelt?

Company Overview

Sunbelt is the largest business brokerage firm in the world, making it the dominant force in the industry. Since 1978, the Company has evolved into a business brokerage network including 300 offices throughout the United States and 30 foreign countries. We currently broker the sale of approximately 4,000 businesses each year.

Our 1,400 business brokerage professionals are dedicated to providing our buyers and sellers with superior service throughout the entire buying or selling process. Sunbelt's experienced methods make the transition smooth and uncomplicated.

Sunbelt business brokerage offices can help those buying or selling a business in any of the four areas of the private business market:


Main Street Businesses

General businesses that usually have gross sales of $1,000,000 or less per year and have 20 or fewer employees (95% of US businesses fall into this category).
Franchise Sales Sunbelt is pleased to be the business brokerage firm that represents a select group of franchisors with a proven track record of success in their field. When you buy a franchise, you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. These franchisors have proven business systems and known names in their respective markets.


Franchise Resales
Thousands of existing franchise businesses resell every year, often for "human driven" reasons: the owner retires, dies, is in poor health, is getting a divorce, is relocating or experiences other life-changing circumstances। We, as a business brokerage, always want to know why someone is selling a business, and so do you. Depending on the circumstances, the sale of an existing franchise may present a good business opportunity for the buyer. An existing franchise has the advantage of being an existing business plus the ongoing support provided by the franchisor. Those looking to buy a franchise can benefit from the professional assistance provided at Sunbelt.
