About the Company
Founded in 1979, Transworld Business Advisors (TBA) is the largest business brokerage firm in the world, with more than 1,000 brokers operating across 220+ offices in 20+ countries. TBA specializes exclusively in business brokerage, mergers & acquisitions, and franchise consulting — helping business owners sell, and helping entrepreneurs buy or grow, businesses of all sizes and industries.
With over four decades of experience, Transworld has built one of the largest networks of buyers and sellers in the industry, giving clients access to a global marketplace, sophisticated valuation and deal-structuring expertise, and a confidential, professional sale process from listing to close.
Locally, Transworld Business Advisors of Morris County is led by John Dalton, Managing Director. John brings over 30 years of senior finance experience from Fortune 50 companies (AT&T, American Express, AIG) and Big 4 firms (Deloitte, PwC) — a C-suite/Big 4 background that differentiates him from typical brokers in the market. He also holds an NJ real estate license.
John's approach reflects the scale and credibility of the Transworld network combined with hands-on financial rigor: rigorous valuation methodology, professional deliverables, and a commitment to serving both buyers and sellers even-handedly — financial expertise clients can trust on both sides of the table.
Through Transworld, John taps into a worldwide inventory of active listings and a vast buyer network, while providing Morris County business owners the personalized, senior-level guidance of a seasoned CPA and former Fortune 50 finance executive and Big 4 M&A advisor.
Broker Biography
Introduction
I'm John Dalton, a business broker and advisor with Transworld Business Advisors of Morris County. Before this, I spent 30+ years in senior finance roles at companies like AT&T, American Express, and AIG, and at Big 4 firms including PwC and Deloitte. I more recently pivoted to supporting small and emerging businesses as a fractional CFO, which means when I look at your business, I see what a sophisticated buyer will see: the real numbers, the real story, and the real opportunity.
What I've found is that most business owners don't just need a broker — they need an advisor who starts working with them long before the listing. Such broker brings confidentiality, discipline and consistent communication throughout the transaction. Whether you're 18 months out or just curious about what your business might be worth, I help you sharpen your financials, build a compelling narrative for buyers, and protect your interests from first conversation through closing.
