Transworld Business Broker Reviews

"

While selling a business is never an easy process, as we learned, our incredible Business Advisor Rusty Fisher was there every step of the way to help us unravel all the complexities. Rusty was highly responsive and made himself available whenever we had questions, and he worked diligently to provide timely feedback on where the business stood. It was clear from the get-go that he has a great wealth of knowledge and insight into the current marketplace. Throughout the process, he always helped level-set realistic expectations for all parties involved. We really appreciated his friendly, down-to-earth attitude. Rusty has a passion for working on good deals for good people, and it shows! I couldn't think of a better Business Advisor to recommend to anyone who might be looking to sell their business. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat!

Writing a 5 star review for Caroline Yuki, a Transworld business advisor, is the least I can do to share my experience with a great individual. Caroline is not only a knowledgeable, efficient and hard-working individual, but also a great human being. She went out of her way to smooth out any obstacles I might encounter during the whole process. Thanks, Caroline, for all your help. You are a valuable asset to your company.

Business Advisor, Mr. Austin Zhao from Transworld, helped me purchase my first small business. He was very professional and patient. Explained processes in details and sent out reminders for critical deadlines. He went above and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible for a newbie. I highly recommended him as an advisor and look forward to the new opportunity in the future!

We have been so pleased with the service and professionalism shown from Wayne Blease with Transworld during and after the sale of our business, ECO2 Office! He found us fantastic buyers and we know that ECO2 will continue to grow stronger with the new owners. If you have questions or need to buy or sell a business, Wayne is the man to see! Thank you Wayne!

Transworld Business was a pleasure to work with. Carmen made selling our business a simple as stress-free process. She guided us through the entire selling process and helped us find the perfect buyer for our dog training school. We could not have asked for a better team to work with.

I recently purchased a Dog Boarding facility in Magnolia, TX and had the privilege to work with an amazing agent, Katie Holditch and brokerage firm, Transworld. Even though Katie was the buyer's agent, she had a thorough understanding of the operation, the market and expertise to navigate complexed transaction. I would highly recommend both Transworld and specifically Katie to assist in transacting your business needs.

This was my first experience in selling a restaurant business. Ron Hankamer was able to walk us through every step of the way and made me feel very comfortable. He was very professional, meticulous, friendly, and communicative. It was a great pleasure working with him and his entire team. I would highly recommend him and the team for brokering any sale of business. I would completely work with him again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Johnathan

Transworld is a top-notch firm I'd certainly recommend. Bobbi Coffey was able to consummate a timely sale of my business by aggressively (and professionally) canvassing the market and properly qualifying potential buyers. She took the time to get to know my business and goals upfront so as to custom tailor her marketing efforts for the best results. If the situation presents itself in the future, I'll work with Bobbi and Transworld again...

I wanted to share my experience with anyone who is considering selling their business in the future. Be ready!! It’s definitely a roller coaster of emotions. My advice “Hang in there” and have faith in your agent. I worked with Katie because of her “we will get it done” attitude. And folks she delivered on her word and did the hand-holding much needed during this process!!

Katie guided me through the process of selling my profitable day spa to the right person and the right price a little over two months ago now, and I’m looking forward to transitioning into the next chapter of my career.

So, if you want to retire and sell your business, I would highly recommend Transworld.

Transworld is the best in buying or selling companies. Tony Keane and Katie Holditch, as well as Transworld's President, Gerry Brisson are some of the most knowledgeable and professional people I have ever worked with. I highly recommend using Transworld Business Advisors of Houston.

Austin was exceptional in facilitating the sale of our business. We had multiple offers in a much shorter time than anticipated. He is excellent at bridging the gap between buyer and seller. And he always made himself available whenever needed. I would highly recommend him and Transworld.

Leah A., Seller 2019

I had an opportunity to work with Shathi G. in a project recently and I must say I'm very impressed. He is extremely knowledgeable and talented, whether my question was quick and simple or very complex he always took the time to listen and get the right answer. He is an industry expert.

Luis G., Buyer 2019

Steve Merritt was outstanding to deal with. From the initial contact to upcoming close Steve’s service made all the difference, with the navigation of and SBA component to affiliate issues he guided my wife and I through. I highly recommend Steve Merritt and in fact have already done so to a friend.

C, Seller 2022

"

Steve Merritt could not have gone more above and beyond to help us sell our business. At time when I thought it was impossible to sell a bar, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Steve helped us sell in the 11th hour! We couldn't have done it without them and I would recommend Transworld and Steve Merritt any day!

Robert S., Seller 2021

"

Steve was very professional and so helpful in listing and promoting the sale of our store.  He was prompt about answering questions and responding to our concerns. I am not sure the sale would have happened without his assistance. I would strongly recommend Steve and will use him again on any future sales.

Nixon Family, Seller 2022

Robert Latham at Transworld represented the sellers of the first business I purchased as an independent entrepreneur. While Bob did not represent me, he was professional and dealt fairly with me. Covid-19 certainly complicated the transaction, but Bob worked to keep the deal on track and the parties were ultimately successful.

Robert M., Buyer 2021

"

Working with Ron was a true pleasure in getting my business sold. It took nearly two years to do so, but his persistence and patience was what I needed. A true professional who became a friend of mine. Hats off to Transworld for having him on the payroll. Thanks Ron and I'm already enjoying my free time and new beginning. Duane.

Duane, Seller 2019

Wayne at Transworld was terrific throughout our entire transaction, always quick to respond to an email or a phone call.  Very knowledgeable about his craft, brought a sense of calm and professionalism to a sometimes difficult deal with lots of moving parts and novice participants such as myself. Will definitely work with him for any of my future needs in this area.

Art, Seller 2021

My husband and I worked with Wayne Blease on the purchase of a small business. He was exceptional to work with. Very professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. He still checks in every now and again, which shows his level of commitment to his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell. It was an absolute pleasure working with him!

Courtney, Buyer 2022

Thank you Quoc Pham for your assistance in selling my business. Your professionalism and aggressive approach was key in selling my business under 6 months of listing. I haven't known you for over 3 years and worked closely with you for the last 6 months on my business sale, I consider you my friend and will sure stay in touch. I will certainly recommend you to friends and family.

Pius O., Seller 2020

We had a wonderful experience with Transworld. Austin Zhao is one of the best agent in the company. His dedication towards both seller and buyer is beyond our expectations. He is very professional and patient throughout the transaction. We purchased a legitimate business from him. Financials are flawless. We are lucky to have Austin as our broker. Will definitely work with him again in the future.

Jin B., Buyer 2019

"

Katie Holditch is very measured, calm, and thoughtful in her approach to helping buyers and sellers have a successful transaction process that they can both feel good about, creating a win/win result for both parties. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katie or Transworld to anyone because they are honest, direct, and business-oriented, keeping the end goal of their clients in mind, even when negotiations can get tense.

Deborah, Seller 2022

Carmen, I am appreciative of the effort that you put into selling our last three childcare centers for us. You kept us informed throughout the process, and I was impressed with the way you educated yourself about the inner workings of the childcare business. The coordination that you kept between the buyer and ourselves helped to bring it all together smoothly at the end. I would definitely recommend you to anyone buying or selling a business. Best to you! 

Rita K., Buyer 2019

Bobbi Coffey was the Seller's Broker for us. She was extremely helpful in guiding me through the purchasing process. This was the first business I have bought and it went smoothly. I had no issues at all. I received all the information I needed from the seller. Everything was explained to me. I will be looking to Transworld Business for future opportunities. Bobbi Coffey was a great agent to work with.  I would love to work with her again in the future.

Robert, Buyer 2021

Quoc Pham, Business Advisor, at Transworld was very helpful. The service was incredible. I have deal with many business broker and company but this one was way far the best. Quoc understand Dry Clean business and know how to value the company. He worked very hard to get the right buyer who can take my dad's business and the employee's right way. I am very much grateful for the partnership and decision my dad and I made with Quoc and Transworld. Thank you!

Tousif A., Buyer 2019

Working with Katie and the team at Transworld was a great experience. I had been looking at buying a business for 2 years. During that time I worked with several other brokers and brokerages. Katie and her team were the most knowledgeable, most professional, and most helpful. Their responsiveness and overall communication are best in class. This was evident during that last week leading up to closing the deal. They were available morning, noon, and night (literally), working to make sure the deal was closed. Thank you Katie and Tony!

John, Buyer 2022

"

I have 2 separate transactions and many different inquiries with Transworld over the last 1.5 years. They have always been helpful, professional, and cater to my needs. I have been dealing with Austin primarily. He is able to propose deals that is suitable to my needs and also assist me well throughout the process of due diligence and even after closing. I will definitely recommend Transworld and Austin to anyone looking to buy a small/medium business. If I am looking to do any deal in future, I will definitely give them a call.

Hok L., Buyer 2019

Transworld is a professional business broker, that sells businesses in a fast and safe way. As a business owner, I wisely choose this company. More wisely choose Austin Zhao to be my agent. He was very professional, fast, and efficient. Austin Zhao has full knowledge on how to find a buyer, and how to communicate. I sold my restaurant in less than 2 months. In fair price as well. If one day I need buy a business. No need to say. Austin Zhao will be my agent as well. Reliable person. Professional business broker. He knows what he is doing.

Susan Q., Seller 2019

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shathi Govender on several business acquisitions. From my initial contact with Shathi, it was extremely clear to me that he was honest, thorough and 100% focused on providing exceptional service and communications. Buying and selling a business requires patience, understanding, and experience. Shathi’s extensive knowledge with the financial aspect of the transaction along with being a seasoned pro with Mergers and Acquisitions gives Shathi the ability to work all aspects of the buy/sell process. If you are considering selling or buying a business then you truly could not be in better hands by reaching out and engaging with Shathi Govender.

Utpal S., Buyer 2019

"

I was referred to Austin Zhao through a banker, and then bought a manufacture through Transworld Houston team. Both Austin Zhao and Gerry Brisson guided me through the purchasing process, treated me very fair while they represented the seller to sell the business to me. Especially, as an immigrant, I don't know too much about American business culture. When I have issues in the business operations after I took over the business, Austin has been always my first contact point to call, and he has been helped me a lot in solving problems through his experience in operating business and his broad connections and resources in the communities. Now I don't treat Austin Zhao as a business broker, but my business advisor. I sold and bought some other businesses before through brokers, I can tell that Transworld is the best business broker among them. Austin and Gerry are the experts, very professional and experienced. Highly recommended!

Hunter H., Seller 2019

I recently inquired about purchasing a Dry Cleaners, and to be honest I was a little unsure at first as to which area I was going to target. I then reached out to Quoc Pham as I saw he had several Dry Cleaners listings online in the Houston and surrounding areas. Not only was he able to find me a great location, but with his knowledge and business experience in the industry, he was able to share some valuable perspectives that I may have overlooked. With that being said, I feel confident that I have found a true gem. At no point did I feel pressured to make a decision as he insisted that he wanted both sides to be comfortable with the deal, which I found highly professional as it gave me peace of mind to make a sound decision. I highly recommend Quoc Pham and Transworld to anybody in search of a great business as the entire process was very thorough and very professional.
