Fellow Entrepreneur As an experienced business broker and real estate agent my mission is to help the buyers of small and midsize businesses realize their financial aspirations and entrepreneurial dreams. Before becoming a business broker… I invite you to contact the Transworld Business Advisors of Essex and Hudson team and schedule a conversation (no obligation, of course!) to discuss your business sale objectives and answer any questions you have regarding the process. A business sale is a monumental milestone! It is critical to choose a qualified organization that you trust so that you can continue to run your business throughout the sale process. Let us show you the power of the Transworld Network. We are excited to work with you. Sincerely, Gerald Holmes Business Broker-Advisor
