Business Advisor, Mr. Austin Zhao from Transworld, helped me purchase my first small business. He was very professional and patient. Explained processes in details and sent out reminders for critical deadlines. He went above and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible for a newbie. I highly recommended him as an advisor and look forward to the new opportunity in the future!

I am so thankful we chose to use Austin and Transworld to assist us in the sale of our business! Austin worked to find us the best buyer who met our strict criteria, fit our future plans, and gave us the best deal! Austin, with the help of Karissa, made our selling process easy, fast, and efficient and they both were a pleasure to work with. Despite any difficulties we faced, Austin always had a solution. Both Austin and Karissa worked tirelessly to ensure our sale closed and made sure my business partner and I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. We would recommend Austin, Karissa and the team at Transworld if you are looking to sell your business!

Austin was exceptional in facilitating the sale of our business. We had multiple offers in a much shorter time than anticipated. He is excellent at bridging the gap between buyer and seller. And he always made himself available whenever needed. I would highly recommend him and Transworld.

Working with Austin Zhao was such a wonderful experience. He made the experience so much smoother and hassle free. He is also very knowledgeable about the market and also very responsive. Not only did he take care of my end, but also facilitate the buyer’s end so that the whole process can be much quicker than if I have tried to sell the practice myself. Thank you Austin for making this sale successful and thank you to Transworld!

My great pleasure to work with Transworld Business Advisors of Houston. I had very good experience with them, especially my advisor Mr. Austin Zhao. He is an experienced business advisor with extensive background in conducting business in both China and the U.S. He always think of things from my side. He helped me clear off all the issues in order to make my business transition smoothly. Even after the transition, he kept on giving me a lot of good and helpful advices. He is not only a helpful business advisor but also a trustworthy friend. I feel really lucky to have him with my business.
Dong Yan, September 2017
I was referred to Austin Zhao through a banker, and then bought a manufacture through Transworld Houston team. Both Austin Zhao and Gerry Brisson guided me through the purchasing process, treated me very fair while they represented the seller to sell the business to me. Especially, as an immigrant, I don't know too much about American business culture. When I have issues in the business operations after I took over the business, Austin has been always my first contact point to call, and he has been helped me a lot in solving problems through his experience in operating business and his broad connections and resources in the communities. Now I don't treat Austin Zhao as a business broker, but my business advisor. I sold and bought some other businesses before through brokers, I can tell that Transworld is the best business broker among them. Austin and Gerry are the experts, very professional and experienced. Highly recommended!
