Transworld Business Advisors Opens New Office in Albany

Local entrepreneurs looking to buy or sell a business can now get help securing profitable transactions from Transworld Business Advisors®, the world’s largest business brokerage consulting firm. The company has opened a new office at 187 Wolf Road, Suite 300 in Albany operated by owner Shawn Pepe and his wife, Alicia Pepe.

“There’s a great need for a professional business brokerage here in Albany, and I’m thrilled that I can help Transworld Business Advisors lead the way,” said Pepe, who has worked in small businesses, large corporations and owns a real estate brokerage. “We’re here to help entrepreneurs realize their dreams of business ownership and to assist others in achieving maximum value when they’re ready to move on.”

Transworld Business Advisors’ innovative model puts teams of brokers to work for buyers or sellers of businesses and franchises. They evaluate businesses for sale or purchase and locate and research potential buyers and sellers. Powering their success is their membership in United Franchise Group™, a family of affiliated brands and consultants offering invaluable support from a global network and more than three decades of experience in the franchising industry.

Shawn and Alicia grew up in the Albany area and have numerous family members throughout the community. Shawn earned a Bachelor of Science from Clarkson University and worked for a well-known specialty fluid control company, where he had the opportunity to meet with hundreds of small-business owners and some large corporations. Later, he opened a sandwich shop and still owns a real estate brokerage. Before joining Transworld Business Advisors, Shawn held leadership roles in large OEM suppliers for telecommunications and datacom service providers, where he learned about the challenges and rewards of owning and growing small businesses.

“I grew to respect the risk, drive and dedication it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur,” he added. “It’s not for the faint of heart, but with the right help, it can be worth the effort and results.”
