Jeff Konieczko

The best business decisions aren't made under pressure—they're made through preparation, strategy, and a clear understanding of value. That's the philosophy that guides Jeff Konieczko, Co-Owner of Transworld Business Advisors of Ontario. With more than 25 years of operational leadership experience and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership, Jeff brings a unique perspective to business brokerage. Before helping owners buy and sell businesses, he spent decades building, leading, and growing businesses himself. His experience includes purchasing a struggling franchise, transforming it into Rookie Franchise of the Year, and ultimately selling it for approximately four times his original investment. Having personally experienced the challenges and rewards of business ownership, Jeff understands that every transaction represents years of hard work, sacrifice, and risk. His approach is built on servant leadership—listening first, understanding each client's goals, and providing honest, strategic guidance designed to help them achieve the best possible outcome. Jeff specializes in helping business owners understand the financial story behind their business. From reviewing financial statements and Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) to discussing valuation methodology, deal structure, financing options, and buyer expectations, he believes preparation is one of the most valuable investments an owner can make before going to market. Strategic Experience Across Diverse Industries As Co-Owner of Transworld Business Advisors of Ontario, Jeff has represented buyers and sellers across a broad range of privately held businesses. Because Transworld is industry agnostic, his experience includes manufacturing, automotive, beer and wine, restaurants, education, construction, pool contracting, pet boarding and grooming, professional services, franchise businesses, and many other industries. Jeff has participated in transactions ranging from owner-operated Main Street businesses to middle-market opportunities, including mergers and acquisitions with enterprise values approaching $30 million. His experience also includes SBA financing, seller financing, E-2 visa buyers, liquor license transfers, franchise resales, and franchise development. He works closely with attorneys, accountants, lenders, escrow officers, and other trusted advisors to help transactions move efficiently while protecting his clients' interests. Experience That Goes Beyond Brokerage Because Jeff has personally owned, operated, grown, and sold businesses, he understands the decisions business owners face long before a company is listed for sale. Whether discussing profitability, operational efficiencies, leadership, succession planning, or exit strategy, he believes successful transactions begin years before a business reaches the market. Clients appreciate Jeff's analytical mindset, calm approach to negotiations, and ability to simplify complex financial concepts into practical business decisions. His goal isn't simply to help owners sell their businesses—it's to help them maximize the value of everything they've spent years building. Professional Involvement Jeff is a proud member of both the California Association of Business Brokers (CABB) and the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and remains committed to continuing education and professional development within the business brokerage industry. Through the global Transworld Business Advisors network, Jeff leverages the resources of one of the world's largest business brokerage organizations, providing clients with broad buyer exposure, proven systems, and collaborative expertise. Based in Ontario, California, Jeff proudly represents buyers and sellers in Ontario, Chino, Montclair and Upland. Whether you're preparing to sell your business, evaluating your company's value, or exploring your next opportunity, Jeff believes every successful transaction begins with thoughtful planning, sound strategy, and trusted advice.
