Just wanted to say thanks Carmen for your dedication and hard work getting our daycare center sold. Carmen maintains a high degree of professionalism. Carmen’s experience in the childcare field made it easy from start to finish. I highly recommend Carmen as a broker to anyone interested in buying or selling a childcare business!

Tony Keane has done an incredible job to complete our business transactions. He met several times to ensure all the steps are complete. He is very passionate and work with great deal of sincerity. I will recommend Transworld Business Advisors of Houston and Tony Keane for your next transactions.

Highly recommend :) Anthony Keane was exceptional in offering support throughout the selling process. He was very patience, responsive, and was always available to answer my question even when he was out of town. He is truly passionate about what he does and I could not go through this smooth selling process without him. He’s definitely worth than 5 stars.

Lou Sabbagh!!! I can not recommend enough. I pass his name to everyone I know, that is interested in expanding, selling, buying or franchising. From day one he treated me, my staff and my company like we were family. Gave great sound, HONEST advice. I can’t wait to bring my next business to his table. Money in the bank! Thank you Lou and Transworld!

Bobbi was knowledgeable, professional, and prompt in answering all calls and emails. Would definitely recommend her as she shows genuine concern for her clients. She works hard to get the deal closed. Thanks for your help Bobbi.

Katie was great throughout the process of purchasing our business. She was always available and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her.

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.

Wayne is very knowledgeable and patient! He takes the time to explain the process to both the buyer & seller. We are happy with our business deal and look forward to more in the future!

We had the pleasure of working with Rusty Fisher. He is one to go above and beyond the call of duty. Top notch guy. He provided tons of insight and a plethora of information. A true asset and shining stars for your company. I would absolutely recommend and without hesitation use him in future endeavors.

Bobbi was instrumental in the sale of our business. Not only was she able to find a supremely suitable buyer, she has deep acumen into pretty much every aspect of the sales process. This included the amending of existing landlord lease agreements, the closing/payoff of EIDL loans, managing the buyers expectations, and a multitude of other things. All of this was done in a timely manner. Bobbi was on top of the process from beginning to end.

Ron was wonderful to work with. He gave me honest advice and walked me through every step of selling my business. He cared for the success of the sale and understood what I wanted out of it. He was very helpful and supportive.

Wayne was excellent to work with. He was able to remain professional while balancing our needs for just understanding this process as people. We would definitely use Wayne to help us broker a deal again.

Bobbi Coffey was the Sellers Broker for us. She was extremely helpful guiding me through the purchasing process. This was the first business I have bought and it went smooth. 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.

Awesome experience all around even through the pandemic!!! Request Ron Hankamer as your broker to buy/sell your business. Hes the best!

What a wonderful and professional company to work with. They got a great deal done for us. It was a pleasure to work with Bob, he did such a great job for us, we could not thank him enough!

I recently worked with Bobbi to sell my business (gym). She is single-handedly the reason the sell was successful. Bobbi is very professional, honest and a pleasure to work with!

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Steve Merritt. We’re truly fortunate to have met him, or our business acquisition simply wouldn’t have ever closed.We spent over two months trying to close our loan simply because the bank that approved ME was so difficult. The time and energy Steve put into ensuring our transaction closed was AMAZING. Truly went above and beyond.Thanks, Steve!

Let me start by saying that Ron Hankamer is great to work with. He helped us secure the right buyer for our restaurant and guided us through the entire process.This was our first time selling a business. If we had to do it again, we would definitely call on Ron to help.

Committed and diligent. Patient and understanding and has a good knowledge of his job.

As a first time business buyer, I was working with Transworld through broker Wayne Blease. Wayne was very helpful, knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process. He took care of both parties involved and I highly recommend him

I recently worked with Steve at Transworld on a small business sale where Steve was the broker of the sale and I represented the buyers. Everyone at Transworld was focused on getting the deal done. Steve, particularly, was easy to work with and understood the benefit to all parties that we work together. I appreciate all the hard work the team put in and Steve for keeping the parties focused on the end results: a good deal closed.

Couldnt ask for a better experience. Ron Hankamer was awesome! He is not only extremely informative and knowledgeable about the local market but also went above and beyond to make sure both sides are happy. Every phone call that I made, regardless the time, Ron always picks up. We live in Vegas, which is 2 hours behind Houston so sometimes we would unintentionally call him late (I apologize for that!!), but he would answer my call with the best attitude there is.Our first time buying in Houston. Both broker and seller are cooperative and helpful throughout the entire process. The closing went smoothly. Our transaction, in general, was a breeze. Im looking forward to future deals with him. Thank you for everything, Ron Hankamer (and Tai Nguyen- the best seller ever).

As a first time business buyer, working with Transworld and my broker Shathi was very straightforward and painless. Shathi was very helpful, knowledgeable and walked me through the entire process. He definitely took great care of both parties involved. I highly recommend him, especially for new buyers such as myself.

As a Merger and Acquisition lawyer, I highly recommend Austin Zhao, because he is the deal maker, the best one I have ever known based on my years of M&A experience in both China and the US.

Transworld handles all the crossing Ts and dotting of the Is required for a smooth closing.

Delightful service and transparency at its best. Mr Lou was wonderful to work with at Transworld.

Steve Merritt crushed it. We were extremely impressed throughout the entire process. Great communicator, highly recommended.

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.

We have recently sold our business with Transworld and our broker was Ron Hankamer. I have to say that he came through in the 9th inning, got a buyer to the table, and had a really smooth close. Highly recommend!!!

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 couldnt have done it without them and I would recommend Transworld and Steve Merritt any day!

Professional service and well prepared in business sale transaction.

Carmen:Gladys & I just want to thank you for all of your hard work in bringing the right buyer to our business and guiding us all thru the legal paperwork necessary to finally close on the sale. It was a difficult task in itself but then the buyer changes it from an asset sale to a stock sale! Wow, it was like having to change horse in the middle of the stream. You did it all beautifully and was always a professional. Thank you for all your hard work.

Transworld Business Advisors made the acquisition of my business smooth and all expectations were met or exceeded while using Ron Hankamer.

I have known Wayne Blease for several years, and know he is very knowledgeable. I feel confident referring my clients who are looking to purchase/sell a business to Wayne because I know that he will take care of them in a professional manner.

Steve Merritt has been extremely helpful and very professional and I would highly recommendhim..

I worked with Wayne very closely on our acquisition from his listing. I have had an overwhelmingly positive experience with Wayne.I have found him to be honest, knowledgeable, and attentive to the needs of both buyer and seller. I look forward to work with him again. I also highly recommend him without any reservations.

I have experienced such a high level of professionalism in dealing with Transworld. My business was on the market for a couple of years, sometimes it just takes some time for the right person to come along. The company was very diligent about remaining optimistic and continually working hard on getting my business sold. My rep, Lou, was fabulous to work with as well. He persisted and brought many options to me, until I was finally satisfied with my option. He is truly a gentleman, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the field of selling businesses. He learned about me, my expectations, what I was looking for. He was patient, supportive and guided me the whole way from the beginning to end of the the whole process. He was always available and accessible, and responded to me in a timely manner and always made sure I was informed and clearly understanding every stage of process as well. I love doing business with Transworld, and my rep Lou. They worked above and beyond my expectations. If I had another business to sell I would definitely call on them again, and would absolutely refer them to any and everyone looking to sell their business. Thank you to Lou and the whole Transworld team for you support and guidance, and success at selling my business.

It was a pleasure working with Rusty ! He is very knowledgeable, dedicated and honest. I highly recommend him .

Wayne Blease did an outstanding job managing my business sale process. Very good communication, always answered my calls and found a solid buyer, the process was smooth. It was a pleasure to work with Wayne and Transworld.

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 Im already enjoying my free time and new beginning. Duane.

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.

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 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

We had the tremendous opportunity to work with Austin Zhao of Transworld Business Advisors of Houston to sell our successful business to retire. We found Austin Zhao to be knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of both seller and buyer. Austin’s professionalisms and experience in marketing were very apparent when we were presented with several qualified buyers. Austin was there to facilitate the transaction and to ensure that we have a successful deal. We would not hesitate to recommend Austin Zhao to families and colleagues who look to sell their business.Peter & Kim seller

Colin and Pedro were so helpful with everything from start to finish and then some! Fantastic team and make everything smooth! Will diffidently use again when needed in the future!

As a first time buyer of a business I couldnt have chosen a better organization and even better individual to work with than Transworld and Shathi Govender in Houston!! He provided a world class experience and made it very easy to understand the process and get the deal done. I cant thank him enough for his patience and making us feel like we where his only clients! I wouldnt hesitate one bit to work with him again in the future and will recommend him to anyone looking to sell or purchase a business!

Syed did an amazing job in facilitating the transaction and great advising service overall. Thank you Syed and Team.

I had an awesome learning experience during buying a restaurant with Transworld Business Advisors of Houston . Mr. Lou Sabbagh helped through the transition. He was very knowledgeable, passionate and helpful. This was my first time buying a restaurant. At first, I was not comfortable going through providing documents and doing paperwork. Mr. Lou took his time and explained to me the process step by step. He put me at ease patiently and supported me throughout the transition. Mr. Lou is passionate about his position, extremely friendly and professional.I highly recommend him and doing business with Transworld advisors .

Carmen was amazingly helpful at getting our business sold. We will be and have recommended her to our business associates. Thank you again Carmen!

Made the mistake of creating and account with these folks when I was looking to acquire businesses - now I get multiple emails/calls daily frommultiple people in their company on opportunities totally unrelated to meEmailed them many times to take me off the list and even tried to do it myself on their website but still keep getting alertsShould not have signed up in the first place

We worked with Carmen Saad-Hanna on the purchase of a daycare. We were on the buyers side and appreciated her assistance throughout the process including negotiations, closing, and providing details of the process as we were going through it. I would strongly recommend her to anyone considering buying or selling their business.

Bobbi was great throughout the whole process. We appreciated her professionalism and she got things done in a timely manner. Would recommend her!

We have been trying to sell our business with another broker in 2018 with no success. We hired Lou form Transworld in March to market our business and he managed to get us an offer in just 3 months... after few showings. We certainly recommend Lou to any seller or buyer.

Lou help me with this transition. He is great guy. Very professional, always return calls and really care . Thank very much for your help . Made this transition very smooth . God bless and have a nice holiday.

Working with Austin Zhao was such a wonderful experience. He made the experience so much smoother and hassle free. He is also very knowledgeable about the market and also very responsive. Not only did he take care of my end, but also facilitate the buyer’s end so that the whole process can be much quicker than if I have tried to sell the practice myself. Thank you Austin for making this sale successful and thank you to Transworld!Dr. Yen Tran

Gerry and his team were AWESOME!!Our transaction was very complicated and disrupted by the government shutdown, but Gerry and his team were able to keep everything on track and get the deal done. This transaction would NOT have closed without Gerrys persistence and commitment. The teams commitment and focus on details was phenomenal.I would recommend anyone that wants to sell their business to use Transworld Business Advisors.

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.

Great to work with, very officiant and informative .

Shathi and Ron made our business transaction so smooth and easy. It was awesome working with these two professionals. They were so helpful and knowledgeable in everything. I will recommend them to everyone any day.

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. Havent 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.

I am extremely pleased to have worked with Shathi Govender to sell my business. He is very knowledgeable and understands the intricacies involved with business transactions he was also able to overcome any hurdles and satisfy all the parties involved. We will certainly recommend him to other sellers

Shathi was extremely patient and put in a lot of hours and time working to sell my business. Although he had other clients, he devoted immediate attention to responding. I definitely recommend selecting him as your broker.

My great pleasure to work with Transworld Business Advisors of Houston. I had very good experience with them, especially my advisor Mr. Austin Zhao. He is an experienced business advisor with extensive background in conducting business in both China and the U.S. He always think of things from my side. He helped me clear off all the issues in order to make my business transition smoothly. Even after the transition, he kept on giving me a lot of good and helpful advices. He is not only a helpful business advisor but also a trustworthy friend. I feel really lucky to have him with my business.

Transworld and Bobbi were a blessing to work with. They helped us navigate the complicated world of business sales to achieve a win-win for us, the seller, and the buyer...a mutually beneficial sale where everyone is happy!

Carmen, thank you so much for helping me buy my day cares. Thank you for caring and making sure all my concerns where responded to and fixed; for the encouragements; for rooting for and giving me sound advice. I recommend TW and especially you Carmen.

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 seen 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 a 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.

Shathi worked very hard to get my business sold. It was a pleasure to work with him. Would definitely recommend using Transworld.

Transworld will post your business on bizbuysell. Any inquiries that come in through bizbuysell they work on. Outside of that, they do nothing for you. They do not return calls or emails or seek leads once they get you signed upIf you are looking to sell your business, post it on bizbuysell yourself. You dont need these do-nothings.

My experience with Transworld was very professional and cordial. Gerry and Lorie made sure our transaction went smooth. I will highly recommend Transworld to all my friends and will do business again in the future. Thank you!

What a fantastic team! I arrived a little early to my 1pm meeting on a Tuesday and was fortunate enough to meet 5 of the brokers who had stuck around after a meeting. Each broker was very nice, genuinely interested in both me and my business. I look forward to the sale of my business using Transworld.

Bob is very unprofessional, no call backs, no responses for days. Would not recommend to use for selling or buying. Would avoid at all cost.

I have worked with Gerry and his team for a number of years and have found them to be the most professional group of business brokers I have met over the past 30 years. They are honest and they get results. They take a personal interest in every client to ensure the business transaction meets their personal and financial goals and expectations. I highly recommend them to business sellers and buyers alike.

Colin Guildroy was great. Our transaction was very complicated but Colin was able to keep everything on track and get the deal done. This transaction would NOT have closed without Colin’s persistence and commitment. Colin focused on details and worked diligently to coordinate with all the people on both sides. I would recommend to anyone that wants to sell their business to use Colin Guildroy at Transworld Business Advisors.S.F. Chip Holmesly Seller 2019

We highly recommend them 100%. Pedro was a great advisor . He was on top of all details .

Bob Latham did an excellent job for us. Very straightforward and set realistic expectations for our sale. He is very responsive. I would certainly use them again.

Ron did an excellent job helping me find the business of my dreams. I highly recommend him for any future business purchases

I have known Gerry and his team for a number of years. As a CPA with own practice, I get several inquiries every year about purchasing or selling a business. I refer all clients who are looking to purchase or sell a business to Gerry at Transworld because of their professionalism!

Shathi Govenders integrity and experience allowed me to make the right business decision and was very supportive. He went above and beyond to make the final agreement happen. I highly recommend him!

I had the pleasure of working with Lou Sabbagh from Transworld Business Advisors. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding my husband and I through this process. This was our first experience getting into the business world and Lou was able to answer all our questions as well as ask the questions we werent aware we needed to ask. I would absolutely work with Lou again and would reccomend him to anyone trying to buy or sell a business.

I had an opportunity to work with Shathi G. in a project recently and I must say Im 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.

I sold my business. Bob and the associates at Transworld business advisors were invaluable. I certainly would recommend them to anyone who is trying to sell or purchase a business. Great job!

I would like to think Bobbi Coffey for the excellent process with selling my business. I would love for her to work on my future deals.

Bobbi was a pleasure to work with and assisted in all parts of the transaction while being fair and informative. Couldn’t ask for more!

We worked with Shathi Govender for the purchase of a flooring home design center. Our experience was nothing less than amazing from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgeable in various fields and was able to assist us every step of the way from analyzing the business to helping us secure the financing. He has been a consultant rather than a broker, more so, a family friend we can count on for professional advice.

Experienced and knowledgeable, very pleased! Got my business sold and moved lightening fast once an offer was made. Definitely recommend!

Ask for Lou. He is awesome and understands your needs. He will speak facts and honest.

I have known and worked with Austin Zhou on a number of projects and have found him to be very talented and capable of successfully completing our projects .Just as important, when you deal with Austin you know that he is giving the project his complete attention and effort and what he says can be trusted without a doubt.Austin has also helped me understand the cultural issues between countries and how to avoid mistakes in working with non U.S.executives and business owners.Austin has been a major part of successes and the avoidance of failures.

Excellent company to deal with! Thank you Shathi for helping with the business purchase. Your knowledge and experience was very valuable and I am excited about running a successful business!

Enjoyed working with Shathi Govender as he gets a clear understanding of what the customer is looking for. He is also very professional and has an amazing sense of urgency to get the job done! Would recommend.

My client recently closed a M&A transaction where they had Gerry and Austin involved. Both Gerry and Austin are very professional. They understand the business, they offer very useful resources, they are very efficient and they have great experiences. We all enjoyed working with them and Transworld Team very much.

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 business and the employees right way. I am very much grateful for the partnership and decision my dad and I made with Quoc and Transworld. Thank you

Transworld is professional business broker, sell business in fast and safe way. As a business owner I wisely choose this company. More wisely choosed Austin Zhao be agent, very professional ! Fast, efficient. Austin Zhao has full knowledge how to find a buyer, and how to communicate between buyer & me. I sold my restaurant less than 2 month. 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.

I was on the verge of closing my retail store due to decreasing sales. I contacted Paul at Transworld and he was in my store the very next day! He had my store SOLD in 3 weeks at a price I couldnt believe. Keep in mind, I was ready to lock my doors and walk away...even leaving the remaining inventory! So thanks to Paul, I can now say I SOLD my business instead of I CLOSED my business.Now I look forward to my early retirement with a few extra dollars in my pocket! Thanks Paul!

Gerry and his team done a great job to help us purchased a business. They are very professional business brokers. Highly recommend.

My broker was Ron Hankamer and he did such a great work on my transaction with professionalism and more than what I expected.Thanks Ron for all your services

We had a wonderful experience with Transworld. Austin Zhao is one of thr best agent in the company. His dedication towards both seller and buyer is beyond our expectations. He is very professional and patient throughout thr 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 .

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 dont 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 dont 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!

Sathis service was excellent and he went above and beyond the call of duty to make the deal happen.

Shathi was a pleasure to work with. He assisted us through the entire process and we could not have chosen a better person to do so. He is kind and very experience in the field. I highly recommend speaking to Shathi if you ever want to sell your business!

Shathi was a great help to our business, I highly recommend his services.

Lou Sabbagh was the best in assisting me with the purchase of my 1st business.
