Transworld Business Advisors is seeking a strategic master franchisor partner to acquire the exclusive Master License for Canada. This license grants the sole rights to develop and grow Transworld’s business brokerage, franchise consulting, and franchise development services across the entire Canadian market. For a qualified operator with capital, entrepreneurial networks, and the ambition to build a national business advisory brand, this is an opportunity to lead the world’s largest business brokerage franchise in one of North America’s most sophisticated commercial markets.
Build Your Business Brokerage Empire Across Canada
Transworld Business Advisors is the world’s largest business brokerage franchise, with 250+ locations worldwide. Founded over 40 years ago, Transworld has established itself as the trusted advisor for entrepreneurs selling businesses and for founders seeking franchise opportunities. The brand is part of United Franchise Group (UFG), a franchise organization with 1,600+ franchise locations in 60+ countries.
Transworld operates through three integrated revenue streams: business brokerage (buying and selling businesses), franchise consulting (advising businesses on franchise opportunities), and franchise development (supporting franchisors in building their networks). This multi-stream model creates stability and recurring revenue while serving the full lifecycle of business ownership and growth.
THREE REVENUE STREAMS
Transworld Business Advisors operates through three integrated and complementary business streams, each generating independent revenue while serving different segments of the business owner market:- Business Brokerage: Advise business owners on buying and selling enterprises, provide valuation services, facilitate transactions, and earn commissions on completed deals. This is the core service driving client relationships and ongoing referrals.
- Franchise Consulting: Help successful entrepreneurs explore franchising as a growth strategy, guide them through franchise development, and support them in building their franchisee networks. This creates recurring advisory fees and positions your practice as a strategic growth partner.
- Franchise Development Services: Support franchisors in building and scaling their networks, recruit franchisees, provide operational guidance, and earn fees from franchisee placements. This stream leverages your existing client relationships to create additional revenue with minimal additional overhead.
THE MASTER LICENSE OPPORTUNITY
A Master License gives you the exclusive rights to develop and grow Transworld Business Advisors across Canada. You will be the brand’s official representative in the country, responsible for opening your own flagship business brokerage office and then recruiting, training, and supporting franchisee brokers and consultants across the nation.The revenue model is built on three streams: commissions and fees from your own flagship office transactions, franchise fees from each new franchisee you bring into the network, and ongoing royalties as your network grows. Canada’s aging business ownership demographic and growing interest in franchising create favorable conditions for rapid growth.
WHY CANADA?
Canada is experiencing a demographic watershed. Entrepreneurs and business owners born in the post-war era are reaching retirement age, creating unprecedented sell-side demand for business valuation, sales facilitation, and transaction advisory services. At the same time, a new generation of business buyers is emerging, seeking guidance on acquisition opportunities. Coupled with rapid growth in Canadian franchise development, Transworld’s three revenue streams position a Master Licensee to capture value across the entire business lifecycle.Canada’s sophisticated financial services sector, mature business culture, and openness to American franchise concepts mean that Transworld’s proven systems are immediately applicable. Major metropolitan markets (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal) and secondary markets all have substantial numbers of business brokers operating independently with limited brand support or operational systems. The opportunity to consolidate the market under a recognized national brand is genuine and immediate.

Transworld Business Advisors Testimonials
I spent four years looking for different franchises, looking to acquire different businesses and that was after a 30-year corporate career in the oil and gas industry. I was very particular about the kind of franchise that I selected and Transworld leadership was something that impressed me. Their business model impressed me and all the stars aligned with Transworld. It worked; it was a good fit for me.

Transworld is a major brand with proven processes, successful, as well as being a part of United Franchise Group, which was in the business world for 30 years. It is supported by industry leaders. This is not a start-up. It is a very major and proven processes' franchise.
Rupesh B
I love owning a Transworld Business Advisors for a couple different reasons. One, I’m passionate about business and entrepreneurship, so being able to see a number of different businesses and helping owners buy and sell these businesses is great. It’s a huge learning experience. I’ve probably learned more about the business world in the last two years than I have my entire career. Two, it is more a lifestyle business. We have a physical office, but we don’t have to be there. We’re from Colorado; we love to ski and hike. We’ve done meetings in the gondola, we’ve done meetings on camping trips, my husband goes hunting with our attorneys every year. So, that’s very attractive as well.

Being a Transworld franchisee has worked out great for me. It’s a wonderful business model; we’ve had two or three very successful years over the last three years. Last year was particularly successful for us; we closed fifteen transactions. I like it because our world is different every day. Every business we deal with is different, every transaction is different, it’s always a challenge - and I like that.
