Three reasons florists call us
Four simple steps
Reach out
Send a short message — or call us directly. No commitment, just a private first conversation.
We listen
We learn about your shop, your team, and what matters most to you about the handover.
Review the opportunity
If there is mutual fit, the next step may include reviewing the business, inventory, brand, records, and your transition goals. Discuss information protections before sharing sensitive records.
Plan the next step
After the review, we discuss whether a transition makes sense and what additional professional guidance or documentation may be needed.
A clear first step, without pressure.
How is sensitive information handled?
Start with a private, exploratory conversation and a high-level overview. Ask what protections apply and whether an NDA is appropriate before providing sensitive business records. Reaching out does not commit you to a sale or a specific timeline.
Do I need to be ready to sell immediately?
No. Owners can begin a conversation while they are still evaluating timing, succession, retirement or the next stage of growth.
What information should I share first?
A short overview of your shop, market and goals is enough to begin. The team will explain any additional information needed before you provide it.
How does the business review work?
If there is mutual interest, the parties can define a review process based on the shop and the proposed transition. That may include financial and tax records, sales mix, lease and equipment obligations, inventory, staffing, customer concentration, vendor relationships and digital assets. The scope, sequence and information protections should be agreed before sensitive records are exchanged.
How is a flower shop valuation considered?
There is no single revenue multiple that describes every shop. A useful review considers financial performance alongside customer mix, owner involvement, team depth, market position, lease terms, inventory, equipment and other obligations. Any valuation or transaction terms depend on the actual records and circumstances.
What happens to my shop's identity and team?
Every situation is evaluated individually. Brand identity, employee roles, customer relationships and local market strengths should be discussed from the beginning; no specific employment, brand or operating outcome is assumed before the parties review and agree to it.
What happens to inventory, equipment and the lease?
They are reviewed as separate parts of the opportunity. Ownership, condition, quantities, liens, lease terms and transfer requirements can affect what is included and what approvals are needed. Inclusion in a transaction should not be assumed until it is documented.
When should employees, customers and vendors be told?
Communication timing depends on the shop, the stage of the discussion and applicable obligations. Before making an announcement, the parties should agree on who needs to know, when they should know and who will communicate with them.
