Leave Timeshare, an Irvine-based advocacy company founded in 2018, has been named U.S. Business of the Year 2027 by American Business Vanguard, one of a series of national and global awards the firm has received across 2026 and 2027. The recognition matters because it signals growing validation for a business model built on helping timeshare owners exit contracts they believe were sold through deceptive practices—an area where consumers often face limited options and aggressive sales tactics.
The awards span multiple categories and reflect both business performance and workplace culture. In addition to the American Business Vanguard honor, Leave Timeshare was named a winner in the Global 100 2027 for helping owners exit unwanted timeshares with transparency and support, and received the IE100 Awards 2026, Best in Business 2026, and an award from the Consumer Ratings Institute (New York) 2026 for business excellence. The company was also recognized as World's Best Employer – United States 2025 by USIQ for its workplace culture, and as Timeshare Contract Termination Specialists of the Year, USA in the AI Business Excellence Awards 2025. Earlier recognitions include the Acquisition International Business Excellence Awards 2024 and Top Workplaces Orange County 2023 from the Orange County Register.
These accolades carry implications beyond corporate pride. For consumers navigating timeshare exits, they offer third-party evidence that a provider has been vetted across business ethics, employee satisfaction, and customer outcomes. The company's community engagement has also been recognized: it received the Snoball Giving Back Award 2023 for its partnership with One Tree Planted, supporting reforestation in California after devastating wildfires. That partnership, detailed at One Tree Planted, underscores a broader commitment to social responsibility.
Jordan Snow, Office Manager at Leave Timeshare, said the awards reflect daily work for owners who feel they were misled into a timeshare. "Our focus is honest communication, ethical practices, and real resolutions for our clients," Snow said. The company reviews each client's documentation to build an exit plan and requires documented evidence of deceptive or misleading sales practices—a standard that distinguishes it from firms that promise quick fixes without substantiation.
Leave Timeshare's sustained recognition every year since 2023 suggests a consistent operating philosophy rather than a one-time achievement. In an industry where trust is often in short supply, such external validation may help consumers identify a provider aligned with ethical exit advocacy. The company earned BBB4Good verification in 2023, further reinforcing its accountability. Complete award details are available through Leave Timeshare.
