About the Company

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.

Broker Biography

Introduction

Denise S. Houghtaling is an operator-turned-advisor with decades of experience building, acquiring, and selling privately held businesses across Florida.

Before advising others, Denise personally built, scaled, purchased, and exited multiple businesses of her own. She understands firsthand the operational pressures, financial risks, and emotional realities that come with ownership. One of her ventures was ultimately sold for ten times its original purchase price — the result of disciplined growth, margin protection, and strategic positioning.

That experience now shapes how she structures transactions for her clients.

Denise is a Licensed Real Estate Broker (since 1989) and holds the Certified Business Intermediary (CBI), Certified Mergers & Acquisition Professional (CM&AP), and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designations. She has represented sellers and buyers in transactions ranging from closely held, owner-operated companies to larger multi-million-dollar enterprises throughout Florida, including Southwest Florida and Broward County.

Her background includes ownership and operation of recycling and waste businesses, sitework and trucking operations, equipment-intensive service companies, and franchise enterprises. This operational depth allows her to evaluate businesses not just on revenue, but on structure, durability, and transferability.

Denise focuses on:

• Exit planning and pre-sale preparation
• Normalizing financial performance
• Reducing owner dependency
• Structured, confidential marketing processes
• Protecting leverage through disciplined negotiation

She believes selling a business is not a listing event — it is a structured transition that requires preparation, clarity, and strategic execution.

Operators build value.
Structured exits protect it.
