Business Update: Record year for Crowne Atlantic Business Brokers

A native of Maitland, Florida, Jackie Ossin Hirsch founded Crowne Atlantic Business Brokers in 2004 after selling companies locally since 1998.  Her brother Lee has been her business partner for 20 years. 

"We typically sell companies with EBIT of $1,000,000+ in Florida, Alabama, and the Carolinas," Hirsch explained. 

In the past weeks, Crowne Atlantic Business Brokers received two prestigious awards.

Crowne Atlantic was honored by the Business Brokers of Florida as one of the Top 50 Business Brokers out of about 1500 business brokers in Florida. The award is calculated based on the volume of businesses sold in 2023. She has received this award every year since they initiated it three years ago.

At The Gator 100 event, Crowne Atlantic was No. 3 out of 100 University of Florida Alumni companies.

"In order to be considered, you must apply and show your financials to enter.  They then calculate growth of your company," Hirsch explained.

In addition to these recognitions, Hirsch has been busy with speaking engagements in Washington, D.C., Tampa, and two webinars. She recently spoke on "Ninja Tactics" about how to acquire a great business at SMBash, a conference to help business buyers, business owners, and investors all connect with each other. There were about 300 people in attendance in Salt Lake City. 

Hirsch said she and her brother are always happy to speak with business owners and answer any questions, knowing that selling or buying a business can take some time. "I sold a company in 2022 and we started speaking in 2014," she said.
