Transworld Business Advisors

Transworld Business Advisors is seeking an exclusive Master License partner for New Zealand to develop the brand across the country. This license grants the sole rights to operate Transworld’s business brokerage and advisory services throughout New Zealand. For a qualified broker, business advisor, or entrepreneur with established networks, this is an opportunity to build a national business advisory brand in a sophisticated market.

About Transworld Business Advisors

Transworld Business Advisors is the world’s largest business brokerage franchise, with 250+ locations worldwide. Founded over 40 years ago, Transworld has become the trusted guide for business owners navigating major transactions and growth opportunities. The brand serves three integrated markets: business brokerage (buying and selling businesses), franchise consulting (advising on franchise opportunities), and franchise development (supporting franchisor growth). As part of United Franchise Group, Transworld brings proven systems and nearly four decades of business advisory expertise.

Transworld operates in a diversified service model that creates multiple revenue streams while serving the complete business lifecycle. This integrated approach positions franchisees to serve a broad base of business owner clients.

The 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 Transworld across New Zealand. You will serve as the brand’s official representative in the country, opening your own business advisory office and recruiting, training, and supporting franchisee advisors and brokers.

The revenue model includes advisory commissions from your own flagship practice, franchise fees from new advisors you recruit, and ongoing royalties from your growing network. New Zealand’s small and medium-sized business sector, combined with increasing interest in business transfers and franchising, creates a growing market for professional advisory services.

Why New Zealand?

New Zealand has a vibrant small and medium-sized business sector, with thousands of owner-operated enterprises seeking professional guidance. As business owners age and contemplate succession, demand for valuation, sale facilitation, and advisory services grows steadily. Simultaneously, an emerging generation of business buyers seeks to acquire established enterprises, and a growing number of successful New Zealand businesses are exploring franchising as an expansion strategy.

The New Zealand business brokerage market remains relatively consolidated but lacks a recognized national brand with professional systems and standards. Transworld’s proven model, international reputation, and association with United Franchise Group provide an immediate competitive advantage. Business brokers, accountants, lawyers, and professional advisors throughout New Zealand represent potential franchisee candidates.

What this Master License delivers

• Exclusive development rights across New Zealand, a stable market with strong business growth and transaction activity
• Multiple revenue streams: advisory commissions, franchise fees from new brokers, and ongoing royalties
• Growing business succession demand as the entrepreneur generation reaches transition age
• Access to Transworld’s proprietary valuation, transaction, and advisory technology systems
• Three complementary service streams (business brokerage, franchise consulting, franchise development) create business stability
• Comprehensive training at UFG headquarters, plus on-site support during New Zealand market launch
• Ongoing technical, operational, and marketing support from an international team
• Nearly 40 years of proven business advisory and transaction expertise
• The backing of United Franchise Group’s global infrastructure and international experience

Your role as Master Licensee

• Open and operate a flagship Transworld business advisory office in a major New Zealand market (Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch)
• Recruit experienced business brokers, advisors, and transaction specialists across New Zealand
• Provide training, operational support, and quality oversight to your franchisee network
• Build relationships with accountants, lawyers, and business professionals who generate referrals
• Develop regional marketing strategies positioning Transworld as New Zealand’s trusted business advisory brand
• Maintain service quality and brand standards across all locations

Who this opportunity is for

The ideal partner for New Zealand is a business broker, business advisor, or entrepreneur with established connections throughout the business community. This could be an experienced business broker seeking to scale through franchising, an accounting or legal professional with a strong business owner client base, a business owner transitioning into advisory services, or an entrepreneurial professional with proven business development capability. You need demonstrated ability to build client relationships, recruit and manage advisors, and understand the business transfer market. Prior franchise experience is not required; Transworld provides comprehensive training and proven systems.

Training and support

Training begins with an intensive program at UFG headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, covering business valuation, transaction facilitation, advisor recruitment and management, franchisee support systems, and Transworld’s operations. UFG will then provide on-site support during your New Zealand market launch, including flagship office setup and initial business development. Ongoing support includes proprietary valuation and transaction systems, national marketing resources adapted for the New Zealand market, advisor training and certification, franchise consulting support, and regular strategic collaboration with your international team. UFG’s global experience means your support is informed by understanding of international markets and best practices.
