Transworld Business Advisors Minnesota Franchisee Acquires Additional Territory in Neighboring State

The expansion enables the Hislops and their staff to widen their scope of services and gain additional agricultural industry clients.

Transworld Business Advisors of Minnesota was started by the Hislops seven years ago with one franchise territory and within their first year of franchise ownership, they secured rights to all territories within the state of Minnesota. The Hislops brokerage has grown during that time to serve the entire state and was rated in the top five producing locations for TBA in 2021.

"When we decided to add Des Moines to our territory, we were really excited," Scott Hislop said. "We have a farming background and Iowa is a large agricultural state, so this was a natural fit for Michelle and I. Plus, with so many people leaving corporate America and choosing the freedom of running their own business, we're experiencing a lot of growth and are excited to expand our business offerings in both markets and capitalize on this trend."

Transworld Business Advisors is part of the family of affiliated brands within United Franchise Group™ (UFG).

"Scott and Michelle have contributed significantly to the growth of Transworld Business Advisors in the Midwest, and we see a bright future on the horizon for him in this region," said Andy Cagnetta, CEO of Transworld Business Advisors.

TBA of Minnesota is consistently one of the top performing franchise locations in the brand. Scott Hislop is a licensed business broker and member of the International Business Brokers Association. He is a volunteer counselor at Vistage Worldwide, a CEO coaching and peer advisory organization and also volunteers at the MNFFA foundation, the Minnesota branch of the Future Farmers of America. The business is a member of Association for Corporate Growth and the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. The Hislops also volunteer at the Beauford Methodist Church.

The Minnesota and Iowa locations will operate separately but will be managed by the same leadership team. The Hislops hope to expand into additional territories which may include other neighboring states.
