Broker Biography
Introduction
Brian Buell is a Business Broker with Transworld Business Advisors - Rocky Mountain.
Brian entered this role after selling his own small business, a CrossFit gym in Boston, MA. After starting the gym by hosting free workouts in a park next to Harvard Square and building it into a thriving community, Brian exited on the tail end of Covid. Brian loves helping small business owners cultivate, grow and deepen their personal relationships with their staff and customers. Believing that relationships are the key to building a meaningful life and legacy, Brian is most excited about helping business owners build a relationship with their buyer and hand off their legacy. His prior experience spans primarily across the fitness, technology and manufacturing sectors.
Brian grew up in Upstate New York, then spent 20 years in the Boston area. He has an MBA with an interest in social enterprise and has split his work between the non-profit and for-profit sectors. Wherever he lands, he looks to inject joy and meaning into his work and relationships.
Outside of work, Brian raises two energetic boys with his wife. He loves pickleball (let's dink!), mountain biking, fishing, carpentry and reading.

I have spent the last 5+ years helping entrepreneurs buy and sell business under $20M in enterprise value. Prior to joining Transworld Business Advisors, I worked in several family-owned businesses allowing me to understand the unique joys and challenges facing entrepreneurs every day. During this time, I realized there was a need for investment banking level services for M&A in the lower middle market and decided to become a business broker. Along with my credentials as a CM&AA and CEPA, I also have a BA in Business Finance and am fluent in Spanish, having lived in Spain for over a decade. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our dog Aspen, road & mountain biking, playing soccer, skiing and traveling.

Before transitioning into business brokerage and M&A, I spent over a decade as the owner and operator of three health clubs in the Denver Metro Area, two of which I launched from the ground up, and one I acquired. Managing dozens of employees and contractors, overseeing complex leases and build-outs, and navigating a wide range of operational challenges taught me invaluable lessons along the way. In 2017, I was ready for a new chapter and engaged Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado to help facilitate the sale of my business. Following the successful transaction, I joined the Transworld team as a business broker, a role that felt like a natural progression. In 2022, I became an equity Partner in our Colorado office. If you're considering selling your business, I’d be happy to explore its value and what a tailored exit strategy could look like. Our team has guided hundreds of business owners through the process of valuation, preparation, and sale with clarity and confidence. As the leading business brokerage firm in Colorado, we have achieved remarkable milestones, including being featured on the Inc. 5000 List five times—an accomplishment attained by only 4% of companies and featured on Financial Times Fastest Growing list.

I joined Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado in order to work with and learn from other small business owners while helping them through situations I can relate to.
