My name is Sung Il Kim, and I am the owner of Transworld Business Advisors of Atlanta East.
Before becoming a business broker, I was a business owner myself. I built and operated a successful e-commerce company that reached 8-figure annual revenue and later sold the business with the help of a Transworld broker. That experience gave me firsthand appreciation for the value of having the right advisor, the right process, and the right buyer when selling a business.
Because of that experience, I understand what business owners go through when they start thinking about selling — the emotions, the uncertainty, the confidentiality concerns, the financial preparation, and the importance of finding the right buyer.
That firsthand experience is one of the biggest reasons I became a business advisor. I wanted to help other business owners navigate one of the most important financial decisions of their lives with proper guidance, preparation, and a clear process.
As a business broker and advisor, I help owners with business valuations, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiations, due diligence coordination, and transaction support. Whether a business owner is ready to sell now or simply wants to understand the value of their business and prepare for a future exit, I can help guide them through the process step by step.
I also work with buyers, entrepreneurs, investors, franchise buyers, and E-2 investor visa clients who are looking for suitable business opportunities. For buyers, my goal is to help identify opportunities that match their budget, experience, lifestyle, and long-term plans.
In addition to business sales, I can assist successful business owners who are interested in expanding through franchising. For owners with a proven business model, franchising can be a powerful way to grow the brand, open new markets, and create additional enterprise value. Through Transworld’s franchise development resources and network, we can help business owners explore whether franchising is the right path for their company.
Transworld Business Advisors is one of the most recognized business brokerage, franchise consulting, and M&A advisory networks in the country. With a national buyer network, proven marketing systems, professional transaction process, and experienced support team, we provide business owners and buyers with the structure and exposure needed in today’s market.
My personal approach is simple: be honest, be prepared, protect confidentiality, and treat every client’s business as if it were my own. Selling or buying a business is not just a transaction — it is often the result of years of hard work, sacrifice, and personal risk. My goal is to help clients make informed decisions and move forward with confidence.
Whether you are considering selling your business, buying a business, exploring franchise ownership, or thinking about turning your successful business into a franchise, I would be happy to have a confidential conversation and help you understand your options.
