Southern Country Business Advisors
Serving Lee County, FL
Southern Country Business Advisors is a Southwest Florida–based business brokerage firm specializing in structured exits for operator-led and privately held businesses. Founded by Denise Houghtaling — an operator-turned-advisor who has personally built, scaled, and sold multiple businesses — our firm approaches transactions with firsthand operational experience and disciplined execution. We understand that selling a business is more than listing it. It requires preparation, positioning, financial clarity, and a structured process to protect leverage and maximize outcome. Our team of four licensed advisors serves clients throughout Southwest Florida and across the state. We work with established, cash-flowing businesses across a range of industries, particularly those with operational complexity, equipment, crews, contracts, or recurring revenue models. Our focus is consistent: • Reducing owner dependency • Normalizing earnings • Identifying and mitigating buyer risk • Running disciplined, confidential processes • Protecting deal structure through closing Some businesses are market-ready. Others benefit from preparation 12–24 months in advance. In both cases, structure determines outcome. Operators build value. Structured exits protect it.
