As a licensed Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors, I specialize in navigating the complex world of business sales and acquisitions. With hands-on experience across multiple industries and having owned and operated my own businesses, I understand the challenges that business owners face. I also know that selling or buying a business is a completely different ballgame—one that requires precise strategy, negotiation, and market expertise. Backed by Transworld’s global network and a team of seasoned professionals, I’m committed to delivering successful outcomes for my clients. Whether you're looking to sell your business, acquire a new one, or explore your options, I provide personalized, confidential guidance every step of the way. My goal is to help clients maximize value and achieve their business goals with confidence. Good deals. Good people

With deep cross-industry knowledge, a powerful professional network, and a long track record of successful sales negotiations, he delivers the insight, strategy, and trust that business owners and acquirers depend on. Committed to guiding clients through complex transactions with clarity and confidence, Christopher provides exceptional representation to help maximize value and achieve the best possible outcomes in every M&A or brokerage engagement.

I’m a Georgia-based business broker with Transworld Business Advisors, and at heart, I’m someone who truly enjoys people, stories, and the work it takes to build something meaningful. I work with business owners across Georgia who are considering selling, transitioning, or simply learning what their business may be worth — often long before they’re ready to make a final decision. My approach to brokerage is both thoughtful and practical. I believe in doing things the right way, paying attention to the details, and communicating clearly every step of the process. From confidential valuations and financial recasting to buyer screening and negotiations, I help sellers understand their numbers, their options, and their timing so they can move forward with confidence and peace of mind. What sets me apart is how personally I take this work. I know that for many owners, a business isn’t just an asset — it’s something they’ve poured their time, energy, and heart into. I take pride in being a steady presence through what can be an emotional transition, offering honest guidance, calm strategy, and consistent follow-through. Outside of work, I’m deeply rooted in a slower, more intentional way of living. I enjoy spending time outdoors, learning about natural wellness, tending to plants, and appreciating the balance between hard work and rest. That grounding influences how I show up professionally — patient, attentive, and focused on long-term outcomes rather than rushed decisions. I primarily work with owner-operated and service-based businesses, including those in pet services, fitness, retail, and local community-centered operations. Whether you’re actively preparing to sell or simply starting to think about the future, I’m always happy to have a confidential conversation and help you explore your options at your own pace. Selling a business is a big step. I see my role as part strategist, part guide — and someone you can trust to handle your business with the same care and respect you’ve given it.

After owning and selling several businesses I decided to help others do the same. I help people sell their most important asset....their business. I also help those looking to make a career change find the right business to purchase whether that is an existing business or a franchise. At Transworld we also can work with you to take your business to the next level by franchising your successful business. I graduated from Georgia College and State University and Georgia Military Prep School. I work the State of Georgia with a concentration in areas south of Atlanta and the Athens area.

As a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta North, I help business owners and entrepreneurs navigate the complex journey of buying and selling businesses with professionalism, empathy, and confidentiality.

Our local team of 12 certified agents has closed 200+ transactions with over 50 years of combined experience. And as part of Transworld — the world’s largest business brokerage and M&A firm with 250+ offices and 1,000+ brokers — we have the global reach and resources to get deals done. In Georgia, business brokers must hold a real estate license — which means if your sale includes commercial property, we’re fully licensed and experienced to handle both the business and the real estate transaction seamlessly. We also support franchise resales and help owners turn their business into a franchise. If you're growing but facing capital or operational challenges, franchising may be the next best step — and we can help make that a reality. Right now, buyers are actively seeking businesses in: -Transportation & Trucking -Auto Repair & Home Services (HVAC, plumbing, cleaning) -Childcare & Senior Healthcare -Blue Collar Trades -E-commerce, SaaS, and AI-based businesses Not every business is ready to sell today. That’s why we partner with Exit Factor Atlanta North, helping owners improve operations, profitability, and team structure over 12–18 months. I stay involved throughout to build trust and ensure a smooth handoff when it’s time to go to market. One of my favorite success stories involved helping a couple retire by selling their equestrian e-commerce business for $900,000. When their buyer’s lender dropped out late in the process, I stepped in, helped secure a new SBA lender, and we closed just 30 days behind schedule. Business brokerage isn’t just about deals — it’s about trust, relationships, and legacy. Let’s have a confidential conversation. 770-401-0066 bbean@tworld.com tworld.com/agents/barrybean (website) linkedin.com/in/barry-bean (LinkedIn)
