President & CEO

George Massalas

George has an extensive career that spans over 50 years Owning, Operating and Selling Businesses of all kinds throughout the United States.  Instead of investing in popular Stocks and Bonds, George forged a successful career investing in California Business Opportunities ~ and is widely recognized as a Leading Authority on Creating Jumbo-CAP Investments, securing Business Acquisitions and formulating Exit Strategies for Small to Medium-Sized Businesses.

In 1980, George was among a handful of young, energetic entrepreneurs who invested heavily in a new Direct Mail Advertising Franchise [Money Mailer] ~ and was largely responsible for inventing the company’s Regional Franchise System.  George’s early efforts helped catapult Money Mailer to become the #1 Direct Mail Advertising Franchise in the Nation.

With Money Mailer’s dominance firmly in place, George re-prioritized his efforts by starting BIZ Builder.Com in 1995 ~ with the sole purpose of helping other young entrepreneurs achieve their financial dreams and goals. Leveraging unique Business Opportunities has always been a fundamental hallmark of George’s career ~ and continues to be a “Guiding Light” for the remarkable success BIZ Builder.Com enjoys throughout the United States today.

George is also a strong advocate for helping less fortunate entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and goals, as well. He invites you to consider joining BIZ Builder.Com’s Kiva Lending Team at this special link:  JOIN KIVA TODAY!

George also invites you to Donate Today to the BIZ Christian Housing Foundation.
