World's Largest Business Brokerage Joins Forces with BizScout in Industry-First Marketplace Partnership

Deal aims to accelerate connections between serious buyers and active, professionally represented listings.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Transworld Business Advisors® (Transworld), the world's largest business brokerage firm, today announced a strategic partnership with BizScout, the fastest-growing small business acquisition marketplace and data platform.

Under the multi-year agreement, all active Transworld listings will be featured on the BizScout platform. This marks the first time Transworld has entered into a partnership of this kind, significantly expanding the reach of its extensive inventory to BizScout's community of verified, high-intent buyers.

"This partnership represents a major step forward in how we connect sellers with qualified buyers," said JT Tatem, President of Transworld Business Advisors. "BizScout has built a unique platform where serious buyers come to find legitimate opportunities. By bringing our extensive inventory to their marketplace, we're giving our clients access to a new generation of entrepreneurs ready to acquire businesses."

For BizScout users, the partnership delivers immediate access to vetted, actively brokered listings from Transworld's network of over 1000 brokers across 250+ offices worldwide. The integration leverages BizScout's proprietary data tools to provide buyers with enhanced insights into deal structure, valuation ranges, and market positioning.

"Transworld brings something the market desperately needs: credible supply," said Codie Sanchez, CEO of BizScout. "Our buyers don't want to wade through stale listings or unresponsive brokers. This partnership ensures they're seeing real businesses, actively for sale, backed by professional representation. It's a game-changer for the marketplace."

Additional Support for Direct Sellers
As part of the expanded partnership ecosystem, BizScout will also offer sellers who come to the platform directly the option to consult with Exit Factor, a business services firm specializing in valuation and exit readiness. Exit Factor's team helps business owners improve their financial presentation and positioning before bringing their companies to market.

"For owners considering a sale, preparation matters," said Jessica Fialkovich, Founder and President of Exit Factor. "We help sellers tell their story more effectively and avoid leaving money on the table."
