Transworld Business Advisors of Grand Rapids | Lansing

www.tworld.com/grand-rapids-and-lansing/

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Transworld Business Advisors focus on three core concepts: business brokerage, franchise consulting and franchise development.

In today’s economy, there are more people looking to buy and sell businesses than ever before. 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.

For over forty years, Transworld has specialized in the sale of businesses. We have over 300 offices nationwide and over 1,000 brokers to serve our clients.
Services Offered
I assist business owners in the confidential sale of their business and/or growth through franchising. Through the process, I assist entrepreneurs with finding great opportunities of business ownership by buying existing businesses or franchises. Every year, 25% of businesses change ownership due to various reasons: retirement, relocation, family illness, etc. As a business broker, I provide services relating to the following:

• Business Sales & Marketing
• Broker Opinion of Value and Exit Assessments
• Franchise Sales & Development
• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Asset Sales
About

Jessica Starks is an Exit Strategist and Owner of Transworld Business Advisors and Exit Factor of Grand Rapids and Lansing. Transworld Business Advisors is the world leader in the confidential marketing and sales of businesses and franchises. Exit Factor helps businesses prepare for their sale by increasing profitability, time and freedom, making their business worth more when they are ready to sell, while enjoying the benefits now. From exit planning to business brokerage and mergers and acquisitions; we are the business exit specialists.

Jessica received her degree from Grand Valley State University in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting and Finance. Before starting her own business, Jessica gained experience at a public accounting firm, sales with a payroll company, followed by 10 years in business banking. As her banking career advanced, Jessica was financing buyers acquiring businesses and transacting her own real estate portfolio.

Realizing that there was a need in the market, Jessica wanted to help business owners exit their business. She found that baby boomers did not know where to turn when wanting to retire. Although she thought of mostly baby boomers, she realized that other business owners needed to exit their business as well. They have built something great, reinvested a lot of their money back into the business and care about their customers and employees. Jessica wanted to give them an outlet to transition what they have worked so hard to create while leaving a legacy.
