Current and previous projects have included outside and indoor growing operations, processors creating a spectrum of products from extracts to joints to edibles, retail shops or dispensaries, and affiliated business models from testing labs to hydroponic irrigation and lighting suppliers.

IBA Cannabis Services

Since 1975, IBA has supported entrepreneurs as a full service mergers and acquisition brokerage firm focusing on the sell side representation of privately held companies and family businesses. We represent the business owner’s best interest using confidential and established best practices as their listing broker for the business and real estate, if applicable. Each member of the IBA intermediary team has one or more real estate licenses.

We provide a full spectrum of business intermediary services including company and real estate valuation, marketplace creation, buyer cultivation and development, and deal negotiation & facilitation. As sell side intermediaries, we successfully navigate the sale to close and avoid common points of deal failure utilizing market leading knowledge, experience, and skill. Our Cannabis team understands the nuances of the cannabis industry from 280E to the growing and distribution processes to the limited financing options. IBA is a member of the Washington Cannabis Business Association and works closely with the Liquor and Cannabis Boards in multiple states. Our team has a Rolodex of alternative financing sources to help minimize seller financing exposure and to help prospective buyers access acquisition capital. Further, our database of interested buyers for producers, processors, retailers and trade partners is among the largest of M&A firms serving the cannabis industry.

The benefits to ownership of an experienced, knowledgeable, highly skilled business broker are well documented.
