William Burch
Blue Water Brokerage
Serving Orange County, FL
Bluewater Brokerage LLC helps owners sell their businesses and helps buyers acquire them, with hands-on guidance through every step of the transaction. We are a regional, multi-state firm built on a simple belief: a business sale should be handled with the same care the owner put into building the company. What sets Bluewater apart is owner-operator experience. Founders Bill Burch has owned and operated, purchased and sold, several businesses himself, including a mid-sized pool service and repair business, so he understands what is really at stake when you sell — the financials, yes, but also the employees, customers, and reputation you have spent years earning. That perspective shapes how every engagement is run: straightforward advice, realistic pricing, and confidentiality protected at every stage. We work across a wide range of industries and deal sizes, from Main Street businesses under $1 million to lower-middle-market companies valued at $1 million to $10 million. We also bring specialized, deep-industry expertise to the swimming pool sector — including retail, service, and construction businesses — where we understand the seasonality, recurring-revenue dynamics, and buyer pool that generalist brokers often miss. As a member of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and a licensed broker, Bluewater operates to recognized professional and ethical standards. Whether you are preparing to sell, exploring what your business is worth, or searching for the right business to buy, we offer honest counsel and committed representation. Confidential consultations are always free. Let's talk about your goals.
