Transworld Business Advisors has created National Business Broker's Appreciation Day on May 4th to recognize the value of business brokers in the economy. The company's leaders announced the observance at their National Conference in Denver, Colorado, citing the importance of business brokers in matching buyers and sellers and facilitating small-business sales.
Company leaders announced the observance to great excitement from brokers attending Transworld Business Advisors’ National Conference in Denver, Colorado, prior to the International Business Broker’s Association Annual Conference.
Andy Cagnetta, CEO of Transworld Business Advisors, said, “We’re thrilled to create this holiday to give business brokers the recognition they deserve. Business brokers are the matchmakers of the economy, bringing buyers and sellers together and ensuring they’re a good fit for each other. They keep the economy moving by helping to keep businesses in the right hands, and we wanted to call attention to their great value.”
Small-business sales are showing steady growth after a drop during the pandemic. According to BizBuySell, which tracks and analyzes small-business data, sales rose by 24 percent in the first quarter of 2022. Analysts say demand for buyers is growing as many Baby Boomer-age owners look to retirement and decide to sell. As a result, the median sale price of a business is now a record $345,000, up 6 percent over the previous year.
Bill Luce, President of Transworld Business Advisors, said, “This day is all about our franchisees. Transworld Business Advisors has experienced tremendous growth because of our hard-working, dedicated network of advisors, and this holiday is just one way we want to show them our appreciation for all they have accomplished.”
National Business Broker’s Appreciation Day is set aside to praise the men and women who help steer clients through this complex transaction, negotiating paperwork and processes and making sure the right buyer is matched with the right business. In addition, the holiday celebrates the hard work of the business broker, who provides the professional services that successfully bring buyers and sellers together and make their business dreams come true.
