Four Lines of Business in One Office
Every Transworld office is built to serve business owners across the full life of a company, providing multiple revenue lines from:
- Business brokerage. Confidential valuation, marketing and sale of privately held businesses, and representation of qualified buyers.
- Mergers and acquisitions. Support for larger transactions through Transworld's M&A team, including buy-side and sell-side engagements.
- Franchise matching. Matching prospective owners with franchise opportunities that fit their goals, background, and desired investment level.
- Franchise development. Helping established businesses expand by turning their businesses into franchise concepts.
A Global Opportunity in Business Succession
Across Europe, a generation of business owners is approaching retirement. An estimated 450,000 firms employing about 2 million people are transferred to new owners in Europe every year, and about 150,000 businesses face the risk of an unsuccessful transfer annually (Eurochambres, 2025). Owners need professional advisors to value their businesses, prepare to sell and reach qualified buyers. Transworld is built to meet that need.
