About the Company
When a company owner needs to sell their business, they can’t just stick a for sale sign in the window. They need the assistance of a business broker to locate and vet potential buyers. On the other side, buyers rely on the broker to help facilitate the process of evaluating potential businesses and franchises for sale. A Transworld Business Advisor is the solution for both scenarios.
Transworld Business Advisorson three core concepts: business brokerage, franchise consulting and franchise development.
The History Of Transworld Business Advisors
Established in 1979, Transworld Business Advisors was originally founded in South Florida by Don (a 30 year IBM executive) and his wife Bonnie Parrish. It quickly grew to the largest business brokerage in the U.S.
Although the company was thriving, CEO Andrew Cagnetta envisioned even more growth. It wasn’t long before United Franchise Group CEO Ray Titus and Cagnetta teamed up to form a partnership and offer Transworld Business Advisors as a franchise.
With over 25 years in franchising, Ray provided the leadership under United Franchise Group, which is home to award winning franchises such as Signarama, Fully Promoted (formally EmbroidMe), Experimac, SuperGreen Solutions, VentureX, and Jon Smith Subs. Andy provided the business brokerage industry experience. Their symbiotic relationship helped grow the Transworld franchise into more than 100 franchisees around the world.
Transworld Business Advisors is headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our state of the art training facility has helped thousands of entrepreneurs achieve their dream of business ownership.

Broker Biography
Introduction
I am an M&A Advisor with Transworld Business Advisors Coachella Valley, working as part of the team led by Rick Rayl. Clients benefit not only from my direct involvement, but from the judgment, standards, and team-based support behind the engagement.
My background is in building and growing businesses across revenue, growth, e-commerce, and operations. That experience shapes how I advise clients through a transaction: sharpening positioning, identifying value drivers, qualifying buyers, anticipating diligence issues, and helping keep the process moving toward a strong close.
I work with business owners and qualified buyers who want clear thinking, strong communication, and a disciplined process.
Services Provided
I help business owners prepare, position, and sell their companies with a disciplined process built around valuation judgment, confidential marketing, buyer qualification, negotiation, diligence, and deal execution through closing.
My approach is shaped by years spent building, scaling, and leading businesses across growth, revenue, e-commerce, and operations. That experience helps me see where value is created in a deal: a stronger story, better positioning, tighter buyer fit, cleaner process, and fewer surprises in diligence. I also work with qualified buyers to evaluate opportunities with greater clarity and discipline.
As part of Transworld Business Advisors Coachella Valley, I work within a team environment that gives clients the benefit of both individual attention and seasoned transaction support.
