Every business has a story, and that story matters when you’re selling. Lonnie takes time to understand what you’ve built – your customers, your team, your operations – and then connects you with qualified buyers.
When you work with Lonnie Veasley, Business Broker, you get:
He’s handled everything from small retail shops and restaurants to service-based companies and professional offices. Around Curlew, many business owners are getting ready to retire or relocate, and having the right broker makes all the difference in getting the price you deserve.
Knowing what your business is worth is often the first step. Some owners are shocked to find out they’re sitting on more value than they thought. Lonnie uses local data, recent sales, and experience in Florida’s business market to provide accurate business valuations, not guesses or online calculators.
If you’re serious about selling, a professional valuation helps set the right price from the start. Overpricing can scare away buyers, while underpricing leaves money on the table. Lonnie helps you find that middle ground so your business actually sells.


Thinking, “How do I sell my business around Curlew?” That’s one of the most common calls Lonnie gets. Many owners don’t know where to start or worry about keeping things private. Lonnie handles it quietly and professionally so your employees, customers, and competitors don’t find out before you’re ready.
He manages the marketing, the negotiations, and the buyer vetting, so you can focus on running your business until the deal is done. From salons and auto shops to local service companies, he’s helped owners all over Clearwater exit smoothly and profitably.
If you’re ready to invest in a new opportunity, Lonnie can help you buy a business that fits your goals and experience. He’ll show you active listings around Clearwater and nearby areas like Dunedin, Palm Harbor, and Safety Harbor, explaining what’s worth pursuing and what to avoid.
His experience means you get insight into what’s really happening in the local market… what’s selling fast, what’s overpriced, and where opportunities are popping up.


Sometimes you’re not ready to buy or sell; you just need good advice. Lonnie also works as a business consultant, helping owners improve operations before listing or strengthen finances to attract better offers later.

Being based near the Curlew corridor, Lonnie knows Clearwater’s local economy; what sells, what stalls, and where the demand really is.
Most people who work with Lonnie came from word-of-mouth. They heard about him from another local owner who sold their business through him. It’s that personal, neighbor-to-neighbor reputation that sets him apart from large, out-of-state brokerage firms.
He’s not a corporate office trying to push numbers… he’s someone you can actually talk to. You’ll get straightforward answers, honest advice, and a clear plan.


If you’re even thinking about selling in the next year or two, now’s the time to start planning.
