Why Florida

One of the most active markets for international capital

Florida consistently ranks as one of the top destinations for foreign direct investment in the United States. A business-friendly regulatory environment, no state income tax, a large and diverse economy, and deep connections to Latin America and Europe make it an attractive market for international investors at every stage.

The state's small business market is particularly active. Professional services, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, and real estate-adjacent businesses change hands regularly. For international buyers, this creates real opportunity. But navigating the process without local expertise and cultural fluency leaves money on the table and creates unnecessary risk.

The Language Advantage

Advisory that works in your language

Most US business brokers operate exclusively in English. Cross-border transactions involve nuance, in negotiation, in due diligence, in understanding what a seller is really saying, that gets lost in translation. Our team advises in English, Português, Español, and Schweizerdeutsch, which means nothing important gets missed.

"The details that matter most in a transaction are often the ones that don't survive a language barrier. We make sure they do."

What We Do For International Investors

End-to-end advisory for cross-border acquisitions


Target Identification & Sourcing

We identify acquisition targets that match your investment criteria, industry, size, geography, and growth profile, and approach them confidentially on your behalf.

Negotiation & Deal Structuring

We represent your interests through negotiation, helping structure deals that reflect the true value and risk profile of the business, and that work for your cross-border context.


Local Counsel Coordination

We work alongside your legal and accounting professionals, or help you identify trusted local counsel, to ensure every aspect of the transaction is properly handled under US law.

Ongoing Advisory

Closing is the beginning. We stay on as your ongoing M&A and transition advisor, helping you steady the business you just acquired and plan your next move without needing to be on the ground full-time.

Key Considerations

What international investors need to know

Cross-border acquisitions in the US involve considerations that domestic buyers don't face. We can't provide legal or tax advice, but we help you ask the right questions and work with the right professionals.

FIRPTA & Tax Withholding

Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act rules can affect transactions involving US real estate interests. Your tax counsel will need to address this, and we make sure it's on the agenda early.


Entity Structure

How you hold a US business as a foreign investor matters. LLC, C-Corp, or other structures each carry different implications. We work with your advisors to ensure the structure is right before the deal closes.


Visa & Immigration Considerations

Investors who wish to be actively involved in US operations may need to explore EB-5, E-2, or other visa pathways. We don't provide immigration advice, but we ensure this conversation happens with the right professionals early in the process.


Currency & Capital Transfer

Moving capital across borders to fund an acquisition involves timing, banking relationships, and reporting requirements. We help you plan this early with your financial advisors so funding is ready when the deal is.
