Transworld Business Advisors of Eastern NC
Serving Brunswick County, NC
I specialize in listing Off-Market, Lower to Middle Market listings, the majority of which are not published on any of the business for sale websites. My wife and I own and run Transworld Business Advisors of Eastern NC, touching in and around over half of North Carolina's counties and with a team of 15 professional business advisors, many of which are licensed real estate agents. Our team has closed transactions up and down the east coast of the United States and prospers through a strong and trusted referral network of centers of influencers. In 2023, our team was recognized by the International Business Brokers Association with the Chairman's Circle Award for outstanding performance. We back our work with the strength of the Transworld Business Advisors network — the world leader in the marketing and sale of businesses, franchises and commercial real estate, with 45+ years in business, 10,000 businesses sold, 750+ advisors and 250+ offices worldwide, and a database of over 850,000 pre-qualified buyers. When a company owner needs to sell their business, they can’t just stick a for sale sign in the window. They need the assistance of a business broker to locate and vet potential buyers. On the other side, buyers rely on the broker to help facilitate the process of evaluating potential businesses and franchises for sale. A Transworld Business Advisor is the solution for both scenarios. Transworld Business Advisors focuses on three core concepts: business brokerage, franchise consulting, and franchise development.
