With over 40 years of experience, Transworld Business Advisors has grown to be the world leader in the marketing and sales of businesses. We have a proven process with a large international network of Brokers collaborating to confidentially vet and identify qualified buyers and match them to business opportunities. I am the owner, Managing Director and Licensed Principal Broker of the Portland office and Designated Managing Broker of the Vancouver WA office. Our OR and WA teams of Business Brokers, M&A Advisors and Franchise Consultants are here to serve the OR and SW WA business community. We facilitate the entire business sales and marketing process starting with completing the business valuation, creating the advertising and marketing materials customized to each business. Our process and skilled team of Brokers collaboratively and confidentially work to find and vet qualified financial and strategic buyers and facilitate the entire business sales process up through closing. Our Business Brokers are also licensed real estate Brokers so they can assist with the sale or transfer of real property with the sale of the business as needed.

If you are a business owner who is thinking about selling we are here to confidentially assist you throughout the entire business sales process and we encourage business owners to contact us when they are beginning to think about selling so we can help them prepare their business to take to market at a time when they can achieve the highest possible price the market will bear.

We serve main street to middle market businesses up to 100 million dollars in annual revenue. We have a very diverse team of Brokers who come from with strong business backgrounds from a variety of industries and many have been business owners themselves or have experienced the Transworld process during the sale of their business.

In addition, we have a dedicated team of Certified Franchise Consultants who represent over 300 different franchise business opportunities. Their services are of no cost to business buyers as they are paid a referral fee from the franchise a buyer purchases. The role of the Franchise Consultant is to serve the buyer through the entire sales process from researching and identifying an opportunity, evaluating the opportunity, introducing the buyer to the franchise, referrals to lending and other business resources, and guiding the buyer through the franchise evaluation and discovery process.
