Transworld Business Advisors of Vancouver is also a licensed real estate agency which allows us to complete the sale and transfer of real property along with the business or to assign or negotiate a new lease as part of the business sales process. We work closely with the business owner to ensure a smooth, confidential business sale and post sale transition. We pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service and value added service to our clients and are honored when we can play a key role in helping them sell or buy one of the largest and most important investments in their life.
Broker Biography
Introduction
I emigrated from my native Scotland to the USA in the eighties. I have lived in Southern California, Eastern Washington and Arizona. I moved to the Vancouver area almost 25 years ago.
My first career was in microelectronics and computer architecture. I started in engineering, transitioned to management, operations, executive leadership, and business management. I worked in start-ups, fortune 500 corporations and everything in between. I was involved in M&A, both acquiring and being acquired. I was proudest of the many new jobs that we helped to create.
My biggest customers could be in Asia and my critical suppliers in Europe - my hometown has a population of 10,000 people where everything is local, I missed the local connection. When I left my corporate career, I wanted to stay engaged with commerce but be more active in our community. Therefore, I am using my business experience to help small businesses that are in transition, often in my own neighborhood.
Transworld is a franchise, so our office is very much a local office, able to be part of the SW Washington Business Community. That said, our network is the largest of its kind, so we can bring tremendous resources to solve problems and address the needs of each buyer and seller.
Services Provided
Focussed on Southwest Washington - I am a trusted advisor to businesses and entrepreneurs in transition.
Primarily I work to secure you a great deal, whether you are selling a business that you have poured all your energies into, or are looking to invest in your next career move that will support you and your family for years to come.
If that perfect business is not on the market, I can help you invest in a proven business model by buying a franchise through our network.
If you already have a successful local business, I can help you find partners to rapidly expand by taking your business national, or even global through franchise development.
