TUSTIN, Calif. (January 11, 2013) – Transworld Business Advisors, a unique business concept that provides services for business brokerage, franchise consultant, and franchise development, announces a new location in Tustin, under the ownership of local resident John Sagarino.
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 a perfect time in my life because I recently merged my business with a new company and was freed of many of my day-to-day responsibilities of managing that company,” says Sagarino. “Transworld offered me the ability to build another company and provide the flexibility I wanted to spend time with my family. I am excited to embark on a new venture and I look forward to helping other business owners realize their dreams.”
Prior to owning a Transworld Business Advisors agency, Sagarino was the CEO of Worldwide Express, a shipping and logistics company.
Transworld Business Advisors is a joint venture between United Franchise Group, (UFG) an industry leader in the development of successful franchise systems with over 1400 franchisees in 50 countries, and Transworld Business Brokers, one of the nation’s largest business brokerage companies handling business sales and mergers and acquisitions.

(Oct. 23, 2012) – EmbroidMe, the world’s largest embroidery franchise, announced today the signing of a Master Franchise agreement with Ernesto Martinez and Adolfo Martinez for development in Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala over the next several years. The agreement was signed last month at the Annual EmbroidMe Master Summit Conference in Nice, France.
Ernesto and Adolfo first became EmbroidMe Master Franchisees in August 2011 when they signed on to expand the brand in Nicaragua. This new agreement will allow them to expand into all of Central America, adding five countries to their previous agreement.
“We are thrilled to have Ernesto and Adolfo expand EmbroidMe throughout Central America,” said Mark Johnson, President of EmbroidMe. “This is a very exciting time for EmbroidMe and we look forward to bringing our brand to more countries around the globe and expand our footprint.”

As part of its aggressive growth strategy, EmbroidMe is seeking to expand its presence in markets across the U.S. and in countries such as Brazil, Mexico, France, United Kingdom and Germany.
To fuel this growth, the company is looking for specific franchise candidates seeking to be a part of a $20 billion industry and who also have the desire to learn and follow a system that ensures value and customer satisfaction. Qualified franchisee candidates should have business sales or management experience, but no formal franchising background is necessary.
Since its inception, EmbroidMe has offered full-service promotional options to both small and large businesses. EmbroidMe serves as a Promotional Marketing Partner to its clients, currently offering more than 800,000 promotional products designed to help businesses build their brand and make lasting impressions.
