MAITLAND, FL – September 8, 2026 – Crowne Atlantic Business Brokers, the family-owned brokerage founded by Jackie Ossin Hirsch and Lee Ossin, has surpassed 700 closed business sales since the founders began brokering deals in 1998 — a milestone that reflects the firm’s continued role as Orlando’s leading business brokerage and a steady fixture in Florida’s M&A landscape. The firm continues to serve business owners and buyers across the Orlando metro area, Tampa, Daytona, Jacksonville, and Gainesville, with a confidential, hands-on approach to selling profitable, cash-flowing businesses.
The 700-transaction milestone spans more than two decades of work across nearly every major industry, including manufacturing, medical, construction, online retail, large restaurants and restaurant chains, distribution, professional services, and franchised concepts. Deal sizes have ranged from $1 million to $100 million, with the firm specializing in matching qualified buyers to Florida-based businesses with strong books and records.
Recent closings reflect that breadth and the strength of current buyer demand. The firm’s recent transactions include a pending $60MM in revenue construction company, $17 million Florida roofing contractor, an $11.7 million industrial testing business, a $6.2 million metal fabrication manufacturer, a $6.3 million plant distribution company,a $1.6 Million title business and a $2.8 pool construction business — a mix that reflects exactly the categories where buyer interest has been strongest.
“After more than 28 years of selling businesses in Florida, the one thing that hasn’t changed is that the right preparation and the right buyer make all the difference,” said Jackie Ossin Hirsch, founder of Crowne Atlantic Business Brokers. “We’re seeing strong buyer demand across Central Florida and nationwide right now — especially in construction, manufacturing, and relocatable remote operated businesses with recurring revenue — and sellers who come to the table ready are getting strong outcomes.”
The professional hands-on approach is why Crowne Atlantic continues to outperform business broker industry averages by a large margin. Only an estimated 20 percent of businesses publicly marketed for sale actually close and there are thousands of reasons for this. Bringing a deal to closing takes constant communication with all parties involved beyond buyers and sellers. It requires ingenuity, improvisation, and presentation. The firm is also home to two of the top five business brokers in Central Florida, a distinction most firms in the region can’t match.
Florida has remained one of the most active small and mid-market M&A states in the country, driven by sustained in-migration, a steady flow of out-of-state and international buyers, and a generation of business owners reaching retirement age. Crowne Atlantic’s pre-qualified buyer database — built over more than two decades — has positioned the firm to move listings to closing quickly, often within days of going to market for the right businesses.
Sellers turn to Crowne Atlantic for a confidential, customized process that protects the business while it’s on the market. Buyers turn to the firm for honest disclosure on what they’re walking into, including the strengths and the soft spots of any business under consideration.
“We work hard, over deliver, we’re scrappy, and most importantly, we refuse to settle for anything less than the best outcome for our clients,” said Hirsch.
Beyond Orlando, the firm regularly serves clients across Orange, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, and Brevard counties, with active deals reaching into Orlando, Jacksonville, Winter Park, Deland, Clermont, Leesburg, Ocala, and the broader Southeastern United States. The Maitland office functions as a central hub — easy to reach from anywhere in Florida — while the firm’s reach extends well beyond it.
While the firm’s roots remain firmly planted in Florida, Crowne Atlantic’s footprint has expanded to a national scale, providing expert advisory and deal-making services for business transactions throughout the United States.
Jackie’s perspective on business sales and exit planning continues to draw attention beyond the brokerage itself. She is a frequent speaker and podcast guest where she helps business owners be better prepared to sell their business. She was recently featured on the LeverUP podcast with Paul Swaney, where she discussed how business value, exit strategy, and real estate decisions intersect, and why owners who plan early tend to walk away with stronger outcomes. The podcast was titled: Insights from a Broker with 400 Successful Closings. She was also a guest on Sean Lyden’s, Systematic Selling, where she shared how business owners can maximize their business value before selling by adding a trained sales team.
Jackie has also been invited to share her expertise on the national stage as a panelist at the Buy Then Build Summit in St. Louis, where she joined leaders in acquisition entrepreneurship including Walker Deibel, Chelsea Wood, Nik Hulewsky, and Acquiring Minds Will Smith to discuss business acquisitions, growth strategies, and leadership. She also frequently presents at SMBash as well as Sam Rosati’s SMBootcamp. The firm has also been featured by CBS, NBC, and Fox affiliates in connection with its work across the Florida market.
Co-founder Lee Ossin has personally closed more than 350 transactions and once served as Vice President of the Business Brokers of Florida Association in the Central Florida region. He has been recognized as one of the top co-brokering business brokers in the state, recognized as a Top 50 Business Brokers for the state of Florida, and has been awarded Top in Business Sales for Central Florida.. His expertise in service-based businesses, including roofing, construction, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical, complements Jackie’s specialties in machine shops, property management, title insurance, and manufacturing — giving sellers and buyers access to two senior brokers with deep, complementary industry experience under one roof.
From its Maitland office, Crowne Atlantic provides a full range of business brokerage services, including business sales representation, business valuations, buyer representation, and confidential listing strategies. Each engagement is tailored to the seller’s goals — whether that’s a fast, full-price sale, a planned succession, or a transaction structured around specific tax, financing, or partnership needs.
