Florida’s Small and Mid Size Business Market Continues to attract Buyer’s in tough Economy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 19, 2009 -- Businesses are still being listed for sale and are selling in Florida. “The small business market mirrors the housing market only as relates to third party financing of a business acquisition.” Says Scott Manker, the Qualifying Broker for Oakwood Associates headquartered in Jupiter Florida.

SBA bank loans have gone the way of home mortgages. SBA, “The lender of last resort” depends on the local, regional and national financial institutions to initiate SBA small business loans. The banks have for the most part abandoned the small to mid size business acquisition market even with the SBA Loan Guarantees.

Oakwood Associates has become one of the most successful business brokerages located in Florida, with Sales throughout the Eastern United States.

Mr. Manker indicates that many Business Brokerage firm’s goals are met based on numbers of businesses sold or in representing the seller of a business. He indicates that Oakwood Business Broker’s focus is on “helping match strategic buyers and sellers in accomplishment of their personal and corporate acquisition and divestiture goals.” In this financial market, a seller is typically open to the idea of seller financing with a qualified secure buyer in the absence of SBA financing.
