★★★★★
As a buyer from Seattle, I had no idea how different Hawaii M&A really is. IslandBizCo's broker walked me through HARPTA, GET registration, and the entire closing. Could not have done it without them.

Acquired: Kailua surf school, Feb 2026
★★★★★
I listed my plate lunch restaurant on three sites. IslandBizCo was the only one that brought me qualified, serious buyers who actually understood the business and the neighborhood.

Sold: Kalihi restaurant, Jan 2026
★★★★★
The loan estimator and bank connections saved us weeks of shopping. Bank of Hawaii had our SBA 7(a) commitment letter in 21 days. Closed our Kauai B&B in 90 days total.
