St. Charles, Ill. (July 25, 2013) – Transworld Business Advisors, a unique business concept that provides services for business brokerage, franchise consultant, and franchise development, announces a new location in the Fox River Valley area of northern Illinois under the ownership of local resident Linda Thomas.
Transworld Business Advisors is essentially three complementary businesses rolled into one: business brokerage, franchise consulting, and franchise development. The brokerage side successfully puts buyers and sellers of businesses together; the franchise consulting side gives entrepreneurs access to more than 200 pre-screened franchises and the franchise development service assists people in growing their businesses through franchising.
“Discovering Transworld Business Advisors came at the perfect time in my life; after years of working within the confines of a large corporate structure, I was ready to work for myself,” says Thomas. “Owning my own business with the experience and support of a major franchisor is the best of both worlds.”
