Leave Timeshare, an Irvine, California-based advocacy company that helps timeshare owners exit unwanted contracts, has been named U.S. Business of the Year 2027 by American Business Vanguard. The recognition is part of a series of awards the company has received across 2026 and 2027, including the Global 100 2027 award for helping owners exit unwanted timeshares with transparency and support, and the IE100 Awards 2026. According to the company, it has received industry or business recognition every year since 2023.
The awards come as timeshare owners increasingly seek ways to exit contracts they believe were sold through deceptive practices. Leave Timeshare, founded in 2018 by professionals with prior experience in the timeshare industry, reviews each client's documentation to build an exit plan. Its services require documented evidence of deceptive or misleading sales practices. The company's growing list of accolades, including being named Timeshare Contract Termination Specialists of the Year, USA, in the AI Business Excellence Awards 2025, underscores the demand for such advocacy services.
For readers, the news signals that third-party advocacy firms are gaining mainstream recognition, potentially offering an alternative for owners who feel trapped in long-term timeshare obligations. However, the company emphasizes that its services are contingent on evidence of misrepresentation, suggesting that not all owners will qualify. The recognition may also prompt greater scrutiny of timeshare sales practices, as awards from organizations like the Consumer Ratings Institute (New York) 2026 and BNS 2026 highlight business excellence and consumer ratings.
Leave Timeshare's workplace culture has also been recognized, with the World's Best Employer – United States 2025 award from USIQ and a Top Workplaces Orange County 2023 honor from the Orange County Register. Additionally, the company received the Snoball Giving Back Award 2023 for community giving, including its partnership with One Tree Planted to support reforestation in California following devastating wildfires.
"These awards reflect the work our team does every day for owners who feel they were misled into a timeshare," said Jordan Snow, Office Manager at Leave Timeshare. "Our focus is honest communication, ethical practices, and real resolutions for our clients. We're grateful for the recognition and proud of the people behind it."
The company earned BBB4Good verification in 2023 and has been recognized with business excellence awards every year since. For an industry often criticized for high-pressure sales tactics, Leave Timeshare's accolades may signal a shift toward more ethical exit solutions.
