WHY TAMBAY
You Deal
With Tom.
Full Stop.
At most brokerage firms, you meet the principal once. After that, your deal gets handed to whoever is available. TAMBAY is a boutique M&A advisory firm where the company's CEO is your advisor from the first call to the closing table. No account managers. No junior associates assigned mid-process.
Tom's dual credentials as a state-certified appraiser and a licensed broker mean your valuation is not a ballpark pulled from a database. It is a forensic analysis of your financials, market position, customer concentration, and the operational risk factors that serious buyers will tear apart in due diligence.
Most brokers rely on exposure. We rely on strategy. When you know your real number upfront and have a controlled sale process working in your favor, you stop hoping and start negotiating from a position of strength.

WHAT WE DO
Full-Service M&A Advisory
BUSINESS VALUATION
Most brokers give you a number designed to win your listing. Tom builds his from the ground up. With decades of appraisal experience across all forms of real estate and business, every opinion of value from TAMBAY reflects your actual financials, market position, customer concentration, and the risk factors serious buyers will scrutinize in due diligence. You walk into every conversation knowing exactly where you stand.
EXIT STRATEGY
The best exits are planned years before a business ever goes to market. Tom works with owners who are 12 to 36 months out from selling to identify what is adding value, what is hurting it, and what steps taken now will produce a meaningfully higher outcome at closing. Waiting until you are ready to sell to start this conversation is the most expensive mistake owners make.
M&A ADVISORY
For owners navigating mergers, recapitalizations, or complex restructuring, TAMBAY provides strategic counsel beyond standard brokerage. Tom has handled transactions across a wide range of industries and deal structures throughout Florida. The goal is always the same. Control the process, derive true market value, and create competition among the right buyers or partners.
INVESTOR REPRESENTATION
Acquiring a business in Tampa Bay or Central Florida requires the same analytical discipline as selling one. Tom brings a certified appraisal background to every acquisition engagement, evaluating what a target business actually generates versus what a seller projects it will generate. That distinction is where buyers either protect their capital or lose it.
DEAL MANAGEMENT
From the first confidentiality agreement to the closing table, Tom manages every stage of the transaction personally. Buyer vetting, negotiations, due diligence coordination, lender communication, and closing logistics. Nothing gets handed off. Nothing falls through the cracks because someone assumed another person was handling it.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
Through TAMBAY Commercial, Tom extends the same appraisal-backed discipline to commercial property transactions across Tampa Bay. Whether you are selling an office building, acquiring industrial space, or evaluating a retail investment, every engagement starts with a number that is supportable, not an opinion optimized to get the listing.

TAMBAY TESTIOMINALS
"This was my first experience selling a sizable business, and I had no idea how much attention to detail it would really take. From finding the right buyer to presenting the opportunity in a way that was both compelling, honest, and backed by real, thoughtful analysis. The listing, the supporting documentation, the meetings, the negotiations, the follow-up calls and emails... It all required a level of experience and patience I couldn't have pulled off alone.
Tom and Kristin are a magical duo, each bringing their own set of tools. They stayed committed through every twist, every turn, and every clarification needed, keeping the process alive and helping both sides come together with clarity and mutual respect.
I couldn't recommend this team more. They got the job done, and they did it right. Thank you!"
