Adam Lawson Transworld Business Advisors β€” Orlando

Maximize Your Value

Get the highest possible price through strategic positioning and competitive buyer interest.

Qualified Buyers

Every buyer is screened and vetted before seeing your confidential information.

Confidential & Professional

Your sale stays private. Employees, competitors, and vendors never know until you're ready.

Trades Specialist

A broker who's actually worked in the trades β€” I speak your language and understand your numbers.

How selling your business works

Selling a business is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make. My job is to guide you through every step β€” from understanding what your business is worth to handing over the keys to a qualified buyer. Here's the proven ten-step process I follow with every client.

01

Business Evaluation

We start with a thorough, confidential analysis of your business β€” financials, operations, market position β€” to determine its true value and identify what makes it attractive to buyers.

02

Structuring the Sale

Together we develop a strategy: pricing, terms, timeline, and transition plans that protect your interests and maximize the sale price.

03

Confidential Networking

I reach out to my network of qualified buyers and investor groups β€” discreetly β€” to find the right match for your business.

04

Discreet Advertising

Your business is listed on major acquisition platforms without revealing its identity. Interested buyers sign NDAs before receiving any details.

05

Controlled Information

Only serious, vetted buyers see your financials and operations. I control what's shared and when, keeping your business protected.

06

Buyer Competition

When multiple qualified buyers show interest, I create competitive tension that drives up your sale price and strengthens your negotiating position.

07

Negotiation

I negotiate on your behalf β€” price, terms, earnouts, transition timelines β€” to get you the best deal possible while keeping the deal together.

08

Due Diligence

I manage the buyer's review process, keeping it organized and on schedule so it doesn't drag on or disrupt your operations.

09

Closing Details

From purchase agreements to lease assignments to final walkthroughs β€” I coordinate every detail so nothing falls through the cracks on closing day.

10

After-Sale Support

The relationship doesn't end at closing. I help with the transition to make sure both you and the new owner start strong.

Adam Lawson, Orlando Business Broker

I've been where you are.

  • Born and raised in Central Florida
  • Built and ran a landscaping company for 13 years
  • Sold it and joined Transworld Business Advisors
  • IBBA Member & President's Club
  • Licensed Real Estate Sales Associate β€” SL3564506

I know what it takes to build a business from the ground up β€” the early mornings, the late nights, the weight of being responsible for your crew and your family. When I sold my own company, I experienced firsthand how important it is to have someone in your corner who actually understands what you've built. That's why I became a business broker. I work with hands-on business owners because I've been one.

Buying a business

Skip the startup years

Why start from scratch when you can acquire an established trade business with existing crews, contracts, and equipment? I help buyers find and evaluate construction and landscaping businesses across Central Florida β€” matching you with opportunities that fit your goals, budget, and experience.

SBA financing & pre-qualification

Most business acquisitions are financed through SBA 7(a) loans β€” and getting pre-qualified before you start looking puts you in a stronger position. SBA loans offer lower down payments (typically 10–20%), longer repayment terms, and competitive rates compared to conventional business loans.

I work with experienced SBA lenders who specialize in business acquisition financing. Getting pre-qualified helps you know your budget, move faster when the right opportunity comes up, and show sellers you're a serious buyer.

Buying from outside the U.S.

I work with international buyers β€” including E-2 treaty investor visa candidates β€” who want to acquire a trade business in the United States. Trade businesses are ideal for E-2 investors: they're asset-backed, have steady local demand, and offer a clear owner-operator role. I can connect you with trusted immigration attorneys who specialize in investor visas and help you navigate the process from offer to ownership.
