Looking To Sell
Your Business?

At Transworld, our expert business brokers have perfected a clear, proven process for selling businesses across countless industries—making your path to success straightforward and rewarding.

It’s Never Too Early to Start Planning

Where do you start when you want to sell your business? How do you create an exit strategy? And how do you list your business? Selling a business raises a lot of questions. Transworld has heard them all, and we’re here to help. With more than 40 years of experience, we’ve sold more than 15,000 businesses — and we're ready to help you sell yours.

How Much Is My Business Worth?

Valuation is top of mind for all of our sellers. With experience completing valuations for a large range of business sizes and industries, we’ll look at:

Fair Market Value

Fair market value is the price a willing buyer would pay a willing seller, based on market conditions, comparable sales, and the company’s financial performance.

Instrinsic Value

Intrinsic value reflects a business’s true worth based on assets, earnings potential, and long-term growth, focusing on its fundamental value beyond market trends.

Fair Value

Fair value is used in financial reporting, mergers, and legal cases, representing an equitable value agreed upon by all parties based on market data and specific circumstances.

Investment or Strategic Value

Reflects what a business is worth to a specific buyer, considering synergies, cost savings, and future opportunities that increase its value beyond the general market.
