Performance Matters

IBA is unique in the business brokerage community in that it operates with a 100% paid on performance business model. Our sell side clients do not pay $1 to IBA until the deal is successfully completed. The business model results in IBA being selective related to its projects, but guarantees alignment of the goals of achieving a timely sale at the best possible market value with our clients. IBA successfully completes 80 – 90% of its engagements annually with high customer satisfaction.

    "

    I had another mergers & acquisitions broker do a valuation of my company. His evaluation was not what I had hoped for so I decided not to sell. I mentioned this to a friend who told me I should contact Gregory Kovsky of IBA. I contacted Mr. Kovsky and his valuation came in $1,000,000 higher. That was enough to convince me to go to market. We went to market and within a few months we had multiple full price offers and sold the business for full price. Gregory Kovsky did an incredible job. While I had bought a number of businesses in the past, this was the first business I sold. Gregory did a great job of holding my hand, keeping me calm, and giving me sage advice throughout the sale process. I have unconditionally recommended Gregory to friends and recommend him to anyone interested in selling their business
