About

Ryan Cave is President of Sunbelt Business Brokers of South Florida, leading a successful team of brokers who specialize in the sale of lower-middle-market service businesses valued between $2M and $15M. Over more than 20 years in business brokerage, Ryan has personally closed hundreds of transactions totaling over $500M in value, and has been recognized 12 consecutive times on the BBF Dealmaker Top 50 list (of nearly 1,000 brokers statewide).

Ryan holds three of the most rigorous designations in the industry: Certified Business Intermediary (CBI), Mergers & Acquisitions Master Intermediary (M&AMI), and Certified Merger & Acquisition Professional (CM&AP). He also teaches business valuation for the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), training brokers nationwide on the same methods he applies to every engagement.

Beyond his practice, Ryan serves as Chairman of the Business Brokers of Florida (BBF), the largest state association of business brokers and M&A advisors in the United States, representing nearly 1,000 members. No other broker in Florida currently holds this combination of credentials and industry leadership.

Ryan is a triple graduate of the University of Florida (BA, MBA, MHA) and has been named a Gator100 honoree four times, including a #7 ranking — a distinction recognizing the fastest-growing UF-alumni-owned businesses.

Recent closed transactions include a $9.5M painting contractor, $6.5M insurance agency, $5.3M franchise resale, $5M fencing contractor, and $2.9M medspa, a representative sampling of the industries Ryan and his team work in every day.
