About Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A.
M&A Advisor • Business Valuation Strategist • Transaction
Specialist
For more than two decades, I have helped business owners understand their true market value and navigate the sale of their companies with clarity, confidentiality, and a structured, professional approach. I specialize in bringing order and direction to what is often the largest financial decision an owner will make, ensuring every step of the process is grounded in accurate valuation, disciplined preparation, and steady communication.
While my work spans businesses across Florida, I specialize in advising owners throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
Professional Background and Perspective
My career began in senior operational and sales leadership within a Fortune-level organization, where I spent seventeen years managing teams, complex projects, and high-stakes client relationships. These experiences sharpened my ability to think clearly under pressure and manage sensitive situations—skills that translate directly into the advisory work I do today.
I later joined Amerivest Business Brokers, where I became a top producer across multiple sectors. In 2014, I joined Transworld Business Advisors, the world’s largest business brokerage network. This platform provides extensive buyer reach, established processes, and global visibility while allowing me to offer personalized, hands-on guidance to every client.
As a former business owner myself, I understand the emotional weight of planning an exit and the importance of protecting the team, culture, and legacy you’ve built.

Experience Across 100+ Business Sales
I have completed more than one hundred business sales across a wide range of industries, including trades, logistics, healthcare, retail, hospitality, professional services, and technology-enabled companies. My work spans both main-street and lower middle-market transactions and includes:
This background allows me to anticipate challenges early, communicate effectively with all parties,
and guide owners through a process that protects momentum and minimizes disruption.
Owners considering a future exit can also review the full Selling Process to understand how valuation connects to structure and negotiation.
A Valuation-First Approach to Selling a Business
A successful exit begins with knowing what the business is truly worth—not an assumption, not a guess, and not a broker’s opinion, but a market-supported valuation based on comparable sales, adjusted earnings, and current buyer demand. My advisory process starts with a detailed review of financials, systems, staff structure, risk factors, and operational strengths. From there, we build a strategy that allows buyers, lenders, and advisors to see the business the way you do.
Owners receive clear answers to essential questions:
What is the company worth based on real transactions?
How will buyers and lenders evaluate cash flow and risk?
What improvements meaningfully increase value?
How should the business be prepared for due diligence?
This clarity sets the tone for a smoother negotiation and a well-managed closing.
A Structured Process for a Clean, Confident Exit
Selling a business requires more than marketing—it requires structure. My approach includes:
-
Clear, market-based valuation
-
Professional documentation and preparation
-
Controlled and confidential buyer outreach
-
Financial verification and buyer screening
-
Thoughtful negotiation of terms and structure
-
Guidance through due diligence, lending, and closing
Every stage is designed to protect the business, reduce uncertainty, and help owners exit on their terms.
A Commitment to Owners
My mission is simple: to help entrepreneurs protect the value they have built and make informed, confident decisions about their future. Through clear communication, structured preparation, and experienced negotiation, I guide owners through a process that honors their investment of time, money, effort and positions them for a strong, well-managed exit.
