About Us
Transworld Business Advisors has been helping Sellers sell their businesses for 40 years in the State of Florida. Our Company is now the world's largest business brokerage. We connect buyers with the businesses that they are interested in purchasing. Transworld also sells and establishes Franchise's and we have our own Merger and Acquisition department.
Buyer's have been counting on as well to help them locate the correct business for them. We have multiple lending resources available including the use of IRA and 401K funds without paying any early withdrawal penalties. If I do not have a personal listing a buyer is interested, I will help them locate something else.

Personally I do not have any employees but am quite familiar with all types of businesses that do. Employees working remotely are not something new for many companies but on the flip side, there are many that have had to convert to survive. The one that I think will never work is school teachers. I have 2 family members that are teachers and they say it is a disaster. Other companies that have had to start may realize the benefits of remote employees. Think about the expenses an employer could save such ad downsizing their office space, the lower utilities, etc. My personal thoughts are that I would rather have my employees if I had some, would be for them to come into the office, but I am old school.
Although new types of businesses will spring up from this pandemic, the best choice, in my opinion, is to purchase an existing business. Brick and mortar businesses, service-oriented businesses, and restaurants are not going away. I believe that this was blown out of proportion but don't get me...

Although new types of businesses will spring up from this pandemic, the best choice, in my opinion, is to purchase an existing business. Brick and mortar businesses, service-oriented businesses, and restaurants are not going away. I believe that this was blown out of proportion but don't get me wrong, I lost 2 family members during this crisis, but the flu, swine fever, and many others have been far worse and the economy was not affected. There will be many businesses going on the market in the near future just due to the aging owners.

The statements below are quite accurate. The only thing I would add, as a business broker, is that these statements help you to understand what your business would be worth if you were to sell. Keeping accurate records is essential as a potential buyer wants to see them. My suggestion is also to take your profit as owner's salary as this is reflected on the profit and loss statement and eventually the tax return.
Many owners tend to take owner's draw also known as owner's distributions as opposed to salary. This is a problem when evaluating your business for sale. Owner's draw is a balance sheet item and therefore does not show up as discretionary earnings which is what is used to calculate the value of a business.
Prior to becoming a business broker I owned and operated businesses for 30 years, 15 here in Florida. First let me say you are not alone. Almost every business experiences the "season" and "off season" here in Florida. As a broker I here it all the time that the goals of many businesses are to...

Prior to becoming a business broker I owned and operated businesses for 30 years, 15 here in Florida. First let me say you are not alone. Almost every business experiences the "season" and "off season" here in Florida. As a broker I here it all the time that the goals of many businesses are to try to break even during the slower months. The trick in my opinion is simple, open a business savings account that you are able to contribute to during the prime time and draw upon it in the slower times.
Calculate your fixed and semi fixed (insurance, utilities, etc.) expenses so you know what you need during the slower months. Based on your 2019 sales calculate the shortage and then save accordingly.
Typically my most productive time of day is early mornings. Being a business broker however keeps me on my toes as I deal with buyers and sellers all day long.

The question is why would you want to do this ? Are you planning on selling the business to them or to someone else ? Even then a confidentiality agreement needs to be completed.
Social media seems to be the largest growing sector to get your name out as well as your services. As a business broker working with many sellers it is apparent that the sellers that utilize social media are incresaing their sales at a greater rate .

My natural progession into being a business broker comes from me buying small businesses over a 30 year period , building them up and selling them for a nice profit. Due to physical conditions I sold my last business and became a business broker about 7 years ago to help others realize their dreams. There is no greater joy when we are sitting at a closing table and watching the facial expressions of a buyer becoming an owner for the first time. It is also a privledge to help the sellers move on to their next stage in life .
This is a tough one as I deal with both business sellers and business buyers. Many sellers have been pleasantly surprised at my broker's opinion of value as to the selling price of their business and extremely happy when we are sitting at the closing table. I have dealt with both experienced...

This is a tough one as I deal with both business sellers and business buyers. Many sellers have been pleasantly surprised at my broker's opinion of value as to the selling price of their business and extremely happy when we are sitting at the closing table. I have dealt with both experienced business buyers and first time buyers as well. The first time buyers often times do not realize the financial resources available to them to purchase a business and when they are sitting at the closing table their facial expressions on becoming a business owner is priceless.
For confidentiality purposes I can not name names .
