About the Company

When an entrepreneur intends to divest their business, they require the expertise of a business broker who can effectively identify and thoroughly assess prospective buyers. Similarly, buyers depend on brokers to streamline the process of evaluating available businesses and franchises. In this regard, Transworld Business Advisors emerges as the optimal solution for both scenarios. Transworld Business Advisors for the last 40 years specializes in three fundamental areas: business brokerage, franchise consulting, and franchise development.

Broker Biography

Introduction

Born and raised in California, I am a proud graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and a local business broker dedicated to helping entrepreneurs buy and sell businesses.

With a focus exclusively on business sales and acquisitions, I’ve successfully represented clients in transactions involving companies with revenues ranging from $1 million to $50 million.

My experience spans a broad range of industries — including manufacturing, home services, HVAC, plumbing, B2B services, restaurants, med spas, general retail, automotive, and construction-related businesses, among others.

I take great pride in delivering a personal, hands-on approach, and I’m fully committed to being available to my clients at all times — from the initial listing to the close of escrow.

If you're considering buying or selling a business, feel free to reach out to me directly at (310) 621-2920 — anytime.
