Miami, FL — A new report on Miami’s M&A landscape reveals a powerful shift: one in three business owners are preparing to exit their companies in 2025. According to the 2025 Miami M&A Trends Report, released by M&A firm SunBridge Advisors, looming tax changes and high buyer demand are pushing more owners to seriously evaluate their options.

“We’re seeing elevated deal activity in the Miami market, and many owners are accelerating their exit timelines to take advantage of today’s conditions,” said Eduardo Alarcón, President of SunBridge M&A Advisors. “Tax reform is creating a real urgency for strategic planning.”

Key Findings from the Report

  • 33% of owners in Miami-Dade County say they’re likely to sell in the next 12–18 months.
  • Over 50% cite capital gains and estate tax concerns as a primary driver for planning an exit sooner.
  • Valuation multiples remain strong in many sectors, particularly professional services, healthcare, and distribution.

The report also explores how inflation, labor shortages, and interest rate uncertainty are prompting business owners to de-risk by considering a sale — even if they previously weren’t planning to exit until later in the decade.

Why Timing Matters in 2025

With potential tax policy shifts expected in 2025 or 2026, many Florida business owners are asking: “Should I sell now while valuations are high and taxes are still manageable?” According to the report, the answer may be yes — especially for companies with $1M to $10M in revenue and consistent cash flow.
