Transworld Business Advisors

Business Sales | Mergers & Acquisitions | Franchises

Three Industries. One Business. Endless Possibilities.

A History of Experience, Growth and Franchising Success

Established in 1979, Transworld Business Advisors was originally founded in South Florida by Don (a 30-year IBM executive) and his wife Bonnie Parrish. Andy Cagnetta, CEO & owner of Transworld Florida, originally came to Transworld as a buyer looking to fulfill his entrepreneurial dreams. From his first meeting, he knew Transworld was special and different. After a few years of working for Don, Andy bought Transworld and quickly grew it to the largest business brokerage in Florida. 

Although the company was thriving, Andy envisioned even more growth. It wasn’t long before Ray Titus, founder of United Franchise Group, and Cagnetta teamed up to form a partnership and offer Transworld Business Advisors as a franchise. 

With Ray’s franchise success and Andy’s business brokerage industry experience, their symbiotic relationship helped grow Transworld into what it is today – The World’s Leading Business Brokerage Franchise. 

For over 40 years, Transworld has specialized in the sale of businesses and commercial real estate. Today, Transworld Business Advisors is a global network of brokers offering a turnkey solution for those who desire to build a solid business and future for themselves while maintaining a balanced, fulfilling quality of life.

Our Business Model

TRANSWORLD BUSINESS ADVISORS Is committed to “doing good deals for good people”, having assisted buyers and sellers in thousands of transactions for over 40 years. Our business model combines three main thriving industries and profit centers, all involving the development and growth of existing and new businesses.

1. Business Brokerage

• A business broker is an impartial third party that works with the buyer, the seller, or with both sides of a business sale and helps coordinate the deal. Typically, business brokers make anywhere from 10-12% of what the business sells for.

• What differentiates Transworld Business Advisor is we consider people the number one priority over any deal. Creating lasting relationships with your clients is incredibly important to the success of your business.

1. Franchise Consulting

• The next profit center is franchise consulting. This is where you assist clients who are looking to buy a new franchise. When you join the Transworld team, you will have the opportunity to represent more than 500 different franchise concepts from various industries at various investment levels. From day 1, you will have a tremendous inventory to offer your buyers no matter what they are looking for.

• If the match proves to be successful, a referral fee in the range of $10,000 to $30,000+ will be paid to you for assisting in this process!

1. Franchise Development

• The final profit center is franchise development. These potential clients are not necessarily looking to buy or sell a business; they likely have a concept or actual business that they would like to grow through franchising. You will work in conjunction with our Development team to help these entrepreneurs turn their business or concept into a franchise.
• As with franchise consulting, franchise development incorporates incentives. Successful matches could result in referral fees of about $20,000.
