How Chad Scaled & Exited a
Cookie Chain for Max Value
“I couldn’t be happier with how smooth everything went, from our initial meeting all the way through to signing the deal.”
🔹Charles' Background
After years of building A to Z Energy Services from the ground up, Charles found himself at a crossroads. The business was thriving — but had begun to outgrow him.
“As the business outgrew me, I think it was a good time to kind of step away and put it up for sale… to continue to watch it grow.”
With the business becoming overwhelming to manage solo, Charles recognized it was time to exit — but he had never sold a business before.
🔹 The Challenge
Like many founders, Charles knew how to build
a company — but not how to sell one.
He faced common concerns:
How do I find the right buyer?
How do I keep things confidential?
How do I get the value I deserve for something I’ve built from scratch?
“We don’t know how to deal with potential buyers. We don’t know how to vet them. That’s not our world.”
🔹 The Solution: Transworld Business Advisors
Charles partnered with Transworld, the world’s largest business brokerage firm, to guide him through the process from start to finish.
“Having a trusted firm such as Transworld is extremely important. We’re taking our life’s work and placing it up for sale — it matters who handles that.”
With Transworld’s expert valuation, packaging, and buyer-vetting process, Charles no longer had to shoulder the burden alone.
“They really took a lot of the pain, the worry, the stress away.”
🔹 The Outcome
With Transworld at the helm:
The business was professionally positioned and confidentially marketed
Qualified buyers were screened and presented
Charles navigated the sale with confidence and peace of mind
“Transworld made the process extremely smooth… and gave me the trust I needed to get it done.”
Charles was able to exit on his terms — and watch the company he built move into its next chapter with new ownership and fresh growth ahead.

🔹 Gary's Background
Mosley Machine Inc. was a true family business — started by Gary, his brother, and their father. Over time, Gary became the sole owner, running the company with his wife for over two decades.
“In the beginning, it was my father, my brother, and I. My brother left in 1998, and from then until 2021, my wife and I owned it.”
By the time Gary turned 75, he knew it was time to move on.
“I was getting old, getting tired, and ready to step away.”
🔹 The Challenge
Like many long-time owners, Gary didn’t have a succession plan or exit strategy. He wasn’t actively looking for a buyer — but when Transworld reached out, the timing was perfect.
“Someone from Transworld called and asked if I was interested in selling. I said yes.”
He needed a firm he could trust to handle the process from end to end and deliver a strong outcome for the business he spent his life building.

Gary partnered with Transworld, trusting them to guide him through a sale for the first — and only time in his life.

🔹 Chad's Background
Chad Larson was a successful multi-unit franchisee of Crumbl Cookies. After starting with one store, he expanded over time — even navigating the challenges of COVID before scaling up further.
“We started out with one store, paused during COVID, and then opened a few more stores.”
As the portfolio grew, so did the complexity of operations. Even with teams in place, Chad found himself as the final point of contact when problems arose.
“When things would happen, I was the last person of last resort.”
Eventually, he and his family decided it was time to let go — and let someone else take the reins.
🔹 The Challenge
Managing multiple locations while balancing a career in teaching and research — plus raising two sons — left Chad ready for a lifestyle change.
“We got to the point where we said, it’s time to sell these to somebody else and let them invest the time and energy to make them as profitable as possible.”
But like many first-time sellers, Chad needed guidance navigating the complex process of selling a business.
🔹 The Solution: Transworld Business Advisors
Chad partnered with Transworld Business Advisors to handle the sale from start to finish.
“Transworld was excellent at helping me navigate and understand the process.”
From valuation and marketing to buyer screening and deal negotiation, Transworld provided a full-service experience — and created a competitive environment for the sale.
“They were very good at getting a nice pool of interested parties.”
🔹 The Outcome
Just six months after their initial meeting, the deal was done — and Chad had successfully exited the business.
“I couldn’t be happier with how smooth everything went, from our initial meeting all the way through to signing the deal.”
Now, he’s living a quieter life, focused on what matters most.
“I’m able to focus all my energy and time on my research, my teaching — and spending more time with my two boys, one of whom is about to leave for college.”
