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.

    "

    We used IBA and Gregory Kovsky to both buy and sell businesses and have the most successful transactions ever! All the bases were covered and both parties were completely satisfied – none of the “after-market” hassles. We are very confident in IBA’s abilities and ethics.
