Shanon Madrid

Company Overview

Sunbelt Business Brokers:  We’re known worldwide as ‘the place to go, to buy or sell a business.’ And with the largest network of experienced brokers in the industry, we are likely in your backyard.

As business brokers, we help our clients confidentially buy and sell privately held businesses, aligning the interests of all parties for mutual success and satisfaction.

Sunbelt business brokers service both the Main Street and Middle Market sectors. While there is no one definition that clearly delineates these segments, we generally consider a Main Street business to be one valued at less than $1m, and Middle Market businesses to be valued above $1m.

Global reach. Local presence. Highest standards.

Sunbelt’s domestic and international footprint is unmatched. More importantly, we expect each of our office owners and brokers to adhere to the highest standards of education, professionalism, and ethics.

The Sunbelt Network has more Certified Business Intermediaries (CBIs) than any firm. Annually, Sunbelt also produces more than 150 hours of its own training programs exclusively for Sunbelt business brokers, and awards the Certified Main Street Business Broker (CMSBB) designation to those who complete the program and pass a competency exam.

Our brokers are experienced business people. Many own (or have owned) one or more businesses themselves, have held executive-level positions with sizable companies, and/or come from synergistic professions in the legal, accounting, and investing industries.
