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.

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.

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!!!

Bryan D., Seller 2021

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.

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.

Dale W., 2020

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.

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!

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

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, Seller 2019

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!

Daryn S., Buyer 2021

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 Gerry's persistence and commitment. The team's commitment and focus on details was phenomenal. I would recommend anyone that wants to sell their business to use Transworld Business Advisors.

Kevin H., Seller 2019

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 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, Seller 2022

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.

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 was instrumental in the sale of our business. Not only was she able to find a supremely suitable buyer, but she also 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 buyer's 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.

D P., Seller 2021

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

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.

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 2020

Transworld is a professional business broker, that sells businesses in a fast and safe way. As a business owner, I wisely chose this company. More wisely chose 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 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 always been my first contact point to call, and he has 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!
