Transworld Business Advisors

Transworld has a rich history filled with a variety of acquisitions and growth across the globe. The company initially got its start in 1979 and was purchased by Don Parrish, a former IBM executive, and his wife, Bonnie, in 1993. The couple was searching for a business brokerage company they could grow together. With that in mind, they did not take any income for six months as they focused on strengthening and expanding the business. Today, Transworld bills itself as the world’s largest business brokerage franchise.

The company formed a joint venture with United Franchise Group in 2010. UFG focuses on business-to-business franchise brands and has a food division featuring Graze Craze^® and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. Over the years, the Transworld franchise system has grown to more than 500 brokers worldwide. Transworld recently extended its reach to the Middle East with the opening of a branch in Dubai.

According to Entrepreneur, a Transworld franchise costs between $76,105 and $99,185. Transworld focuses on the sale of businesses, mergers and acquisitions, and franchises. The brand’s wide scope provides limitless potential clients, but it does come with some drawbacks. Having industry-specific insight can help build relationships and trust with clients. The company offers multiple revenue streams, also including franchise consulting and franchise development, but they limit initial, in-person training to two weeks. It may be challenging to cover a wide scope of knowledge in a limited amount of time.
