Chair’s Letter

As we bring this year to a close—and as I conclude my two years as your State Chairman, I want to share a message of gratitude, pride, and optimism with each of our members across the Business Brokers of Florida. It has been an honor to serve in this role, and I look forward to turning over the reins to our incoming Chair, Ryan Cave, as he leads us into an exciting new chapter for the BBF. This has been a year where our collective resilience, dedication, and passion have truly shined. No matter what the market brought our way, BBF brokers continued to rise to the occasion, serving clients with professionalism, guiding owners through life-changing transitions, and upholding the standards that define our association.

I hope 2025 has been a year of growth for you, professionally, personally, and in the relationships that sustain your business. Every listing taken, every deal closed, and every challenge met with creativity and determination has strengthened not just your practice, but the BBF as a whole. Together, we continue to elevate what it means to be a business broker in Florida.

And now, we turn toward 2026 with momentum.

Behind the scenes, your leadership team has been working with renewed purpose as we prepare for the BBF Conference this coming August at the Hilton in West Palm Beach. This gathering will be more than an event, it will be a celebration of who we are as brokers, an opportunity to sharpen our craft, and a chance to inspire one another as we step into a new year of possibility.

We are also preparing our new District and State Officier’s as we move into the next chapter of our leadership. This transition symbolizes progress, growth, and our shared commitment to building an association whose impact will stretch far beyond tomorrow. We truly are laying the foundation for the future of business brokerage in Florida.

Our vision is bold: to position the Business Brokers of Florida as the premier business brokerage association in the nation. And with the drive, integrity, and talent of our members, that vision is well within reach. Every one of you plays a vital role in that journey.

As we look ahead, I’m inspired by what we have already achieved and energized by what lies before us. Thank you for your hard work, your trust, and your commitment to excellence. Let’s carry that spirit forward into 2026 and continue building something extraordinary—together.

Wishing you a strong finish to the year and an even stronger beginning to the next.
