Sarah MartinezI had a rewarding experience working with Samir Gandhi and Sohil Gandhi on the sale of my veterinary clinic. They presented only qualified buyers and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout—acting as true, trustworthy business advisors. Their approach was strategic, disciplined, and grounded in ethical deal-making. I appreciate their guidance and commitment to securing the right veterinary group as the buyer. Samir and Sohil were more than brokers—they were trusted advisors and mentors. I highly recommend Team Gandhi and Transworld Business Advisors to any business owner, whether selling or buying.
mahitha orugantiExcellent Service all along
Fondren Animal HospitalI had a great experience working with Steve, Karissa and the entire team at Transworld Business Advisors selling our family owned Pool and Spa Business. They brought multiple pre-screened buyers, communication was always quick, they were available anytime I needed them and they made a complicated process feel a lot easier. I considered trying to handle it on my own, but so glad I didn’t. There is no way I would’ve wanted to go through the process without them. It was absolutely worth having the right broker. I can’t thank Steve, Karissa and the entire team enough and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell their business!
Adam JonesMerci a Arturo Henriquez pour son accompagnement dans cette première acquisition au USA, malgré la barrière de la langue (nous parlons français) Grâce à son professionnalisme et sa patience, ce projet stressant est devenu une réussite. Nous sommes ravis !!!
Deleplace KarineWhen we decided to sell our business, we were fired up but had no idea where to start. After interviewing two brokers, we engaged Arturo believing he was confident and creative and experienced enough to get us there. He helped us price our business to sell and vetted all the offers. He guided us through every step and we never could have done this without him. Today we are moving onto the bigger and better things we worked so hard for. So rewarding and he walked with us every step of the way. Thanks Arturo and Transworld Business Advisors.
Chris CriswellArturo is a great partner in the sale process and is instrumental in getting deals done. Can’t say enough great things about him.
Scott ZbylotIf you are looking for a great all-in experience buying or selling a business, go with these guys, specifically, Arturo Henriquez. He is timely, professional, highly intelligent, and most importantly, easy to work with. There needs to be many more brokers like him. Two thumbs up.
John LeeSteve, Molly, Karissa and the entire team at Transworld Business Advisors did a fantastic job helping me navigate the process of acquiring an established pool company last month. Communication was great and all my questions were addressed immediately as the came up. I would highly recommend their team for anyone looking to buy or sell a business!

His professionalism in working with all parties involved exceeds expectations. Thank you Ron.

His knowledge into the real estate market gave us confidence in our investment. Ron was a wonderful advisor above and beyond, making the real estate process smooth and stress-free, especially for us as the first buyer of a business. Ron was always available to answer our questions by phone, e-mails/or meet as person, and guide us through every step of the process.

Addie QureshiKatie H was a wonderful broker to help me through my first private business transaction. She walked me through all the steps, important questions, and smoothly facilitated all communication with the buyer. I would happily trust Katie & Transworld for my next transaction!
Colin SchickedanzMolly did a FASTASTIC job helping me find a business! Incredible attention to detail, extremely patient, super knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to help you! She works super super hard and I would definitely buy another business with her!
S SIt is extremely difficult to get a hold of anybody, and when you do it's usually the third party answering service. I resent this greatly as I am trying to do business on a very serious level and cannot even get a hold of anyone to begin the process. If I cannot get a hold of anyone directly and I'm expected to pass important information back and forth through a third party service, then that's not a reliable way of doing business and I don't want any part of it.
Jeanie JaneMr Sung Kim, was amazing to make this transaction smoothly and FAST! I greatly appreciate him helping me and my uncle to sell the business. I recommend Mr. Kim for your needs!
Bee NguyenSamir worked with me to find the business that met my needs.
Jay RinckerFrom the initial contact to the very end Samir was there and helpful in every single way. His many years of experience and wisdom in owning, managing, selling and buying businesses will not go without notice. Although I have only experienced a few business advisors in my short tenure, Samir is leaps and bounds ahead of them. Any questions or communication was handled very promptly and with detail. Thank you again, I highly recommend your services.
Hal CatheyChip Miller was amazing!! I was so nervous to be selling my business to start with, so many unknowns; but Chip was there to put my mind at ease the entire stretch. He was very knowledgeable, and his calm demeanor made everything so much more pleasant and easy to handle even if it wasn't great news. I have already referred my family to Chip to sell their business which should say it all.
Kimberley FranekWe are incredibly grateful for Austin Zhao’s exceptional efficiency, communication skills, and professionalism in successfully selling our business and making our dream of retiring with financial freedom a reality. We first approached Austin Zhao at Transworld in 2018, and since then, he has been instrumental in helping us plan our exit strategy and maximize the value of our business. Thanks to his expert guidance, we successfully sold our company to a private equity firm. Austin’s leadership, proactive approach, and problem-solving ability to find win-win solutions for both buyers and sellers were truly remarkable. No matter how complex the challenges were, Austin navigated them with confidence and expertise. Without his guidance and the dedicated support of his M&A assistant, Karissa, this transaction would not have been as successful. What truly sets Austin apart is his commitment even after closing the deal. He didn’t just walk away—instead, he remained actively involved to ensure a smooth transition and seamless handover between the buyer and seller. His dedication to excellence made the entire process stress-free and rewarding for all parties involved. If you are considering selling your business, we highly recommend Transworld and Austin Zhao. Their expertise and unwavering support will make all the difference.
AmeriFresh Inc.I’ve worked with Austin Zhao of Transworld Business Advisors to sell two of my businesses, and I can confidently say he’s one of the top business brokers and M&A advisors in the industry. His expertise in business valuation and pricing strategy is exceptional. He priced both businesses accurately and strategically, which helped attract serious buyers quickly and close the deals at full asking price. What truly sets Austin apart is his deal-making experience and negotiation skills. He knows how to navigate complex transactions and keeps everything on track, even when challenges arise. Throughout the process, he was consistently kind, honest, and patient with both me and the buyers. His communication was always clear, timely, and transparent, which made the entire experience much less stressful. Austin is also a true problem solver. When issues came up (as they often do in business sales), he handled them with creativity and professionalism. I’m extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend him and Transworld to any business owner considering a sale.
Dong LinAustin was very professional in managing the transaction process, providing the necessary guidance and support which made for a smooth process.
Khue Nguyen于Austin合作很愉快。成交非常快。很专业的团队。以后一定会再次合作。这个个值得信赖的公司。
songyi zuoSteve is one of the most professional, competent, consistent and knowledgeable business brokers I have ever closed a deal with. I have been buying and selling real estate and businesses for 20+ years and he is by far one of the best brokers in the industry. He went over and beyond the call of duty on this transaction and we hope to keep a working relationship to buy more deals together in the new future. Highly recommend.
Terrence C. Murphy Sr.I want to sincerely thank Caroline Yuki for all the supports and guidance after many months effort to get the transaction done. Caroline demonstrated unwavering professionalism and tenacity in selling my business. When initial buyers withdrew, she persistently secured new prospects through strategic market outreach, refusing to let my listing stagnate. Her provided real-time insights on valuation trends and buyer motivations, while her industry expertise guided me through complex paperwork, due diligence, and business pre closing requirements. What truly stood out was her proactive risk mitigation – implementing safeguards at every stage – and her nuanced negotiation skills that maximized value while preserving deal integrity. Caroline transformed a potentially stressful selling process into a seamless transition. Highly recommend her services to any business owner seeking a broker who combines relentless advocacy with transactional excellence.
Jane HuangIf YOU Are Reading This, Be Sure To Read It All The Way Through and picking a BROKER. Every business transaction typically involves a broker, unless it's a direct deal between friends, which carries the risk of liability based on the seller's claims. My experience with this brokerage firm, particularly with Mr. Ron Hankamer, began when I reached out about a listing on their website. From that initial call, Mr. Ron played a crucial role in keeping the deal intact throughout the nine-month process of finalization and transfer. Despite my concerns about potential delays, Mr. Ron's proactive approach and diligent follow-up made the entire transaction much smoother for me towards the end. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ron Hankamer for any business dealings, whether Buying or Selling. His expertise and trustworthiness in both small and large business transactions, as well as in the franchise sector, make him an invaluable resource for anyone looking to navigate into the market. Ps: Let Your Broker Be Mr. Ron, talk to him once before you decide anything else. Let’s Go Transworld Advisor Mr. Ron Hankamer ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
StàÑWe had an incredible experience working with Molly in our attempt to purchase a small business. She went above and beyond to help us structure the best possible offer and navigate every step with confidence. Her expertise, organization, and attention to detail were invaluable throughout the process. Beyond her skill and professionalism, she is incredibly kind, intentional, and trustworthy. She genuinely cares about her clients and their success. If you’re looking for a business broker who will advocate for you and guide you with integrity, we highly recommend Molly!
Kaila ElliottMolly has been such a pleasure to work with and has made the business acquisition process so much easier. She is so kind and a wealth of knowledge!
SarahDear Stevan Perez I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding service you provided as our Transworld Business Advisor during the purchase of my new Coffee Shop GOAT Tea and Coffee House located in Harlingen Texas. From the very beginning, your professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Your expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I truly appreciate how you went above and beyond to ensure we found the right fit. It's not easy navigating such a big decision, but with your support, it felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Thank you again for your hard work and commitment. I look forward to recommending you to others and working with you again in the future. Best regards, Eduardo Garza GOAT Tea & Coffee House Harlingen Texas
Eduardo GarzaRusty guided us through the entire process to a successful purchase and sale- on both sides of the transaction.
Patrick CraigWow what a great experience we had! Wayne was very professional and understanding. Also having sold his own business previously he was able to understand some of the feelings and concerns I was having during the process. After building and growing my business for 20 years and still loving it, it is not easy to just let anyone buy it and Wayne totally understood that. The only issue we have (which was out of his control) was the buyers bank being very slow at the process. However Wayne had previously gotten preapproval for the loan which would have sped up the process, but buyers didn't want to go that route. But 5 Stars to Wayne! I would and already have recommended him and Transworld to anyone.
Silver Sycamore Events ResortWe had a great experience working with Samir and Sohail! They were incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. They patiently answered our questions and provided expert guidance that helped us make informed decisions. Even when we encountered a minor setback, they quickly found a solution that not only met but exceeded our expectations, giving us reassurance in their problem-solving skills. We highly recommend Samir and Sohail to anyone in need of representation.
Imran KasbatiWhen it came time to sell my business, I knew I needed a professional with deep market knowledge and a proven track record to navigate the complexities of the process. Advisor Bobbi Coffey exceeded all expectations, expertly guiding me through every step, from valuation to finding the right buyer and negotiating a mutually beneficial deal. Her dedication, communication, and expertise ensured a successful transaction and transition, allowing me to focus on my next chapter with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend Bobbi and her team at Transworld to anyone looking to sell their business successfully.
N J (NJ)I had a great experience working with Transworld Business Advisors of Southwest Texas. My agent Katie H. was available, responsive, and incredibly skilled. She was able to guide me through the business sale process with confidence and success. I could not be happier with the results which was a successful sale at a fair price. She also was a nice person to work with to boot! Highly recommended.
Kris OlsonMi familia y yo vinimos de Argentina y tuvimos la suerte de encontrar a Andrés Ghersi para que nos ayudara en el proceso de compra de un Hair Salón en Houston. Localizamos nuestro Salón muy rápidamente, pero nos encontramos atrapados en una negociación que parecía estancada. Andres hizo que el proceso de Due Diligence y Closing del Hair Salon fuera sencillo y menos estresante para nosotros. Asimismo es de destacar que Andres y su colega Katie Holditch estuvieron disponibles para preguntas y consejos durante todo el proceso. Servicio muy profesional y súper recomendable, brindándonos confianza al comprar en un mercado business extranjero. Vilma. ☺️👏👏

David EppI’ve known Molly Adames for many years and have had the privilege to work with her on several occasions. Her legal background and in-depth knowledge and experience working with physicians, surgery centers, hospitals and other business partners, has always been of tremendous value. Molly is organized, thoughtful and able to quickly understand key issues and help solve them. No matter what the obstacle is, Molly has the leadership skills and know-how to overcome it.
Joseph RemesGreat team to work with! I highly recommend them!

Sebastian OrtizWhile selling a business is never an easy process, as we learned, our incredible Business Advisor Rusty Fisher was there every step of the way to help us unravel all the complexities. Rusty was highly responsive and made himself available whenever we had questions, and he worked diligently to provide timely feedback on where the business stood. It was clear from the get-go that he has a great wealth of knowledge and insight into the current marketplace. Throughout the process, he always helped level-set realistic expectations for all parties involved. We really appreciated his friendly, down-to-earth attitude. Rusty has a passion for working on good deals for good people, and it shows! I couldn't think of a better Business Advisor to recommend to anyone who might be looking to sell their business.
