Vincenzo (Vince) LoCricchio, BCI | Tampa Bay Business Broker & M&A Advisor

Vincenzo (Vince) LoCricchio, BCI, is one of the most tenured business brokers actively serving the Tampa Bay, Florida market. He has been working full-time in business brokerage, franchise sales, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) since April 1995, accumulating over 30 years of elite industry experience. As the hands-on founder of Enterprise Business Brokers Vince brings unique "operator-level" context to every transaction—a distinct advantage built from his prior career as a financial planner, investment advisor, and restaurant business owner.

Vince acts primarily as an educator and trusted advisor rather than a traditional deal-closer. Because the majority of his clients are first-time buyers or sellers, he focuses on helping them thoroughly navigate and understand the transaction process, ensuring absolute transparency rather than simply pushing a sale through.

Proven M&A Experience & Industry Leadership

  • 30+ Years of Proven Deal-Closing: Features an unbroken individual track record of managing and closing hundreds of diverse business transactions since 1995, offering a deeper well of local market experience than most active brokers in the Tampa region.

  • Peer-Elected Industry Leader: Selected by his industry peers to serve as Chapter President of the Business Brokers of Florida (BBF) for both the Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida Chapters from 2010–2013.
