About

Transworld Business Advisors Ascend helps New Jersey business owners confidentially prepare, value, market, and sell privately held businesses.

Led by Fred Petito, CM&AA, CEPA, Transworld Ascend provides business brokerage and sell-side M&A advisory services for owners considering a sale, succession, recapitalization, or exit strategy. We work with Main Street and lower-middle-market businesses across New Jersey, focusing on confidential transactions, qualified buyer outreach, valuation guidance, deal structuring, due diligence preparation, and transaction execution.

Before becoming a business broker and M&A advisor, Fred spent more than 20 years as a Chief Strategy Officer and C-level executive at public and private companies, including experience with roll-up mergers, growth strategy, and startup environments. He also previously practiced law in commercial, estate planning, and tax law.

Selling a business is often one of the most important financial decisions an owner will make. Our role is to help owners understand their options, protect confidentiality, prepare for buyer scrutiny, and run a professional sale process while they continue operating the business.

If you are considering selling your business, planning an eventual exit, or simply want to understand what your company may be worth, we invite you to contact Transworld Business Advisors Ascend for a confidential conversation.
