Anthony played a critical role in the success of our recent acquisition of a construction business. His expertise and pragmatic approach were instrumental for a successful transaction. His hands-on approach kept discussions constructive and moving forward. His ability to handle all parties with professionalism and fairness was key to overcoming challenges and ensuring a smooth transaction process.
He effectively navigated complex negotiations, provided valuable insights into the SBA process, and consistently sought solutions to keep the deal moving forward. His knowledge and professionalism were invaluable to both the seller and us as buyers. We highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated business broker in Florida.
Working with Anthony Caliendo “The Main Man“ and his team, was a game-changer for our business sale. From the first look and evaluation, to asking us critical questions in what we were looking for in a potential buyer and the future of our small family owned service business to giving us creative input to make our business even better until we were ready to market. His team took the time to understand our goals and developed a tailored strategy to maximize our business’s value.
Anthony’s expertise in the market, attention to detail, and problem solving skill set gave us complete peace of mind at every stage. He took control of all aspects of the sale, helped us through grueling due diligence and calmed us off a ledge many times. He handled all negotiations professionally, ensuring we received the best possible deal. He really doesn’t just sell businesses he creates relationships for sure. Thank you to The Main man and his whole team for making this process smooth, and successful.
Side note the attorneys he referred us to, for legal purposes were extraordinarily phenomenal, we could rest assured that we were protected.

I had been contemplating selling my business for the last couple of years and I had interviewed a few business brokers, and I was a bit skeptical about all of them, but when I met Anthony, I knew immediately that he was the right guy for the job. Anthony is extremely knowledgeable, works extra hard and has many contacts in the world of business selling that gave me a lot of comfort during the process. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Anthony for negotiating the deal between myself and the buyer. If you are considering buying or selling a business, Anthony is the guy you want to work with. There’s a lot of other brokers that will waste your time, but Anthony is the real deal and, if given the chance, he will get the job done! If you’re thinking about buying or selling a business, Anthony is the guy to call!
Anthony Caliendo, “The Main Man,” was instrumental in guiding us through the acquisition of a complicated seasonal business under an extremely tight timeline. As a neutral transaction broker, Anthony represented both sides of our acquisition with fairness and professionalism, ensuring that the needs and concerns of all parties were understood and addressed. His expertise and unwavering dedication allowed everyone to move at light speed, achieving a successful closing in a record two-month timeframe from LOI to deal close.

It was a pleasure working with Anthony and his team. They were responsive, proactive, and we felt confident in their ability to get the job done. Anthony's deep knowledge of the business acquisition process kept our deal on track to closing. We look forward to working with the Main Man and his team again in the near future.
After several years of unsuccessfully attempting to sell our own business I heard an advertisement on the radio for a guy called “The Main Man.” He sounded good, and I said, “I’m giving it a shot.” We knew the value of our business, and the team that helped build it, we were not willing to sell for less than its true worth. While it did take time, Anthony Caliendo “The Main Man” got it done! If you are looking to buy or sell a business look no further than “The Main Man”, Anthony Caliendo. He’ll make it happen.

After looking at business for over a year and losing a couple deals to slow broker's, I found Anthony. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and what was a good fit. He was able to match me up with a fantastic business and help with all the little things that one does realize is needed. Thanks to Anthony we closed in record time and are doing great. Even to this day he still takes my calls and provides guidance for my business.
When it comes to closing deals, Anthony Caliendo is truly "The Main Man." As the business broker for our recent acquisition, Anthony went above and beyond to ensure the transaction was smooth and successful. His tenacity and dedication are unmatched. Anthony is a scrappy Italian who embodies perseverance and determination, ensuring that both sides of the transaction are satisfied. If you need someone who will do whatever it takes to get the deal done, look no further than Anthony Caliendo. He works tirelessly to ensure every detail is addressed, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Anthony for anyone looking to buy or sell a business. Thank you, Anthony, for your exceptional service and unwavering commitment!
I chose Anthony Caliendo to represent me, as a buyer, for one of his businesses he had listed. He was very attentive and transparent with the information regarding the business. As it turned out, the business was not a good fit and immediately Anthony turned me on to another one of his businesses. This business was the perfect fit and I could not be more happy with my decision. I am grateful Anthony did not give up or try to push me into purchasing the first business. Anthony truly had my best interest at heart. Anthony was always available by call/email and never left me wondering what was happening next. His team kept me apprised each step of the way. As a business owner and someone who has purchased many businesses, I have never had this large of a deal go so smoothly. Even after the sale, Anthony has stayed in contact and inquires on how we are doing. It’s nice to know I will have a lifelong business broker on my side for my next purchase/sale.
Hey Anthony!
We would like to thank you for your relentless efforts in finding the PERFECT couple to purchase our business! With only one of us truly wanting to let go, it was a very tall order to find the right fit. You brought us quality people, and you listened to what was truly important to me in a buyer. Building this business reputation has been my legacy, and you understood that. Although there were many tears at closing, we are several months into the transition and I could not be happier with the projected future of my legacy!
The skills it took on the back end to close this deal are beyond my comprehension, but you and your amazing team made it happen. We thank you for your tireless efforts and comforting talks along the process. It’s a big deal to connect the right people, it’s not just a transaction to you, and that is why you ARE the Main Man! Thank you!!

Hi Anthony,
I just wanted to send you my heartfelt gratitude for your relentless perseverance getting my business sold. There were quite a few obstacles that seemed to me that this may not happen. Your vast knowledge of getting deals done was a pleasure to watch. I learned a lot from you. In spite of all the obstacles you made it happen. Just when we were scheduled to close the deal COVID came out of nowhere and shut us down for almost 90 days and I really thought this was over. But 18 days after reopening the deal went through, amazing! Your knowledge of valuation of my business and your resource of other entities to seal the deal were invaluable. I also really appreciate our friendship that developed with you Kristen, and the rest of the family. That is priceless. I look forward to many deals in the future. You really are the Main Man. And please feel free to pass on my contact information to anyone for a reference.
With love and respect
Dear Anthony:
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for recommending the Home Health Care business to Bonnie & l. For years we have been looking for the perfect fit with our business and professional background where we could not only serve the public but also make a nice living doing say that you nailed it perfectly for us.
As you are aware, this transaction from start to finish was difficult and complicated when the Small Business Administration and government regulatory restrictions are involved. You and your team of professionals guided us perfectly through the process and were always available around the clock. Additionally, your dedication to both the buyer and seller has been nothing short of amazing as our transition was seamless! You will be a great part of our future success.
Thank you for a wonderful opportunity and providing us with a bright future. You are “The Main Man!”
Respectfully yours
Dear Anthony,
Acquiring my first business. One would think the process would be daunting, challenging and even frightening to some. After inquiring about many listings with a variety of brokers, I quickly realized this could be a big challenge working through the acquisition process. I felt the brokers didn’t care, they just wanted a commission, didn’t properly vet their listings, didn’t really help at all. I was prepared to do ALL the work myself. Not with Anthony on your side! Anthony and his team are phenomenal. Period. They explained the entire process in great detail from start to closing, which immediately calmed my nerves, and held my hand through the process when needed. Anthony is very friendly and honest in every way. There was no misdirection, misleading information or anything of the like. A big advantage I found immediately was that Anthony only has quality listings that are appropriately priced. I felt comfortable making a full price offer. His team dug through the business very thoroughly beforehand, so when it was time to see the business for myself, I basically had a very good understanding of the overall picture. This was very helpful and made due diligence a breeze; especially when Anthony is there to help through the process. So, we made it through due diligence without any unforeseen issues and were smooth coasting toward a closing. This is where we ran into some issues that would have otherwise delayed the closing 2-3 months. This is where Anthony’s skills and experience was imperative. His thinking outside the box really helped solve multiple issues that were outside of everyone’s control. Without boring you with the details, we closed. I am now the happy owner of a thriving business and feel very good about the people who helped me get here. Thank you to Anthony, Kristen and the rest of the team!!!
Respectfully yours
When I met Anthony, I immediately knew he was the right broker to sell my business. He offered so many useful recommendations, had an aggressive marketing plan and fresh ideas, that were key in achieving a successful sale. I now consider Anthony as a friend.

You were the instrumental piece to accomplishing this acquisition and providing my family and I with this great opportunity. Thank you. I would highly recommend you and your team for anyone looking to work with a business broker in Florida.
After meeting with Anthony and experiencing his expertise in his business, we decided to list with him for more than double what the previous brokers structured. No one could have gotten us a better price and the experience exceeded our expectations.
I can truly tell you that without the skill, dedication and perseverance of Anthony, along with 100’s of calls to him made by me and probably the buyer too, this deal would have never closed. Thanks Anthony to you and your staff at FNBC.
There is no doubt in my mind that you are The Main Man! I will certainly think of you if ever in the market to buy or sell again and will always recommend you to anyone that may be in need of your services.
Who knew that by Hardy listening to DeFo’s show, that we would be lucky enough to have you represent us & our businesses, successfully broker & close the deal and allow us to start planning our future. Thank you, Anthony, you are “The Main Man”!
Dear Anthony, I would like to thank you and the whole FNBC staff for the successful sale of our business. Your knowledge, diligence, persistence and hard work made the whole process easier than I had expected.
When I decided to sell my business I needed someone that would be aggressive and innovative in his marketing campaign. After our first meeting I knew I retained the right man for the job. I recommend Anthony to anyone who is serious in selling their business!
We can say with great certainty that you are our new business broker of choice moving forward and we are looking forward to growing our new business and re-listing it with you and purchasing other business as well in the future!
Anthony is, I must say, a remarkable businessman and salesman. He has the experience and know-how to make things happen. Anthony made this deal happen. No doubt about it. If you want the best broker to be found, then I highly recommend Anthony and his team.
