FAQs
Why should I franchise instead of starting my own business brokerage company?
What makes Transworld Business Advisors special?
How do I know which franchise is the best in the business?
A few magazines and websites publish rankings every year that can help aspiring business people determine which franchises are the best in the business. Rankings are based on factors such as growth, stability, cost to startup, and financial strength. Transworld Business Advisors has been named the number one business brokerage franchise in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 every single year since the company began franchising.
How much will it cost to open a Transworld Business Advisors franchise?
A Transworld Business Advisors franchise is less expensive than many other franchises due to low overhead, little to no payroll expense, no equipment to buy or inventory to maintain. You could launch your Transworld Business Advisors franchise for around $98,000, which includes the initial $69,500 franchise fee.
Do I have to have business brokerage or franchising experience to get started?
Some states do require that business brokers have a real estate license, so additional training may be necessary depending on your location. It is not necessary for franchisees to have industry experience, although some degree of business or real estate knowledge is a plus. At Transworld Business Advisors, you do receive two full weeks of training, as well as continuous support throughout the life of the business.

Some of the most profitable franchise models in the country require less than $100,000 to launch, and several of them let you work from home with no inventory, no storefront, and no employees on day one.

Best home-based franchise opportunities for 2026
The office-optional era isn't just a trend for salaried employees. It's reshaping franchise ownership, too. More entrepreneurs are choosing franchise models they can operate entirely from a home office, with no commercial lease, no storefront, and no requirement to be in a specific place at a specific time. Home-based franchises accounted for a growing share of new franchise openings in 2024 and...
