Member Benefits

Collaborate with us today. Compete better tomorrow.

We can help you outperform service providers who claim but don’t have sufficient preparation and competency in business acquisition advisory.

We are the association for professionals and service providers

whose clients buy or merge small or midsize businesses.

Sometimes a service provider’s specialty can get in the way of dealmaking.

Accountants, attorneys and business acquisition advisors, especially those that work on large AND small acquisitions or mergers, can benefit from the IPBBA materials. The IPBBA Training Course & Toolbox for Business Acquisition Advisors ™ and the Certification in Business Acquisition Advisory ( CiBAA ™ ) conveys the technical and client management components necessary for business acquisition advisors to materially enhance their understanding and performance of consulting for clients who buy or merge small or midsize businesses with respect to the business aspects (as opposed to legal, accounting, tax or valuation).

FREE Membership for Professional Service Providers

  • Limited time offer if you become a Founding Member.

Differentiation from Other Advisors and Service Providers

Anyone can proclaim to have sufficient specialized training, experience and resources to guide buyers of small and midsize businesses to a successful acquisition.

  • Our members can prove it.

Networking, Teammates & Tools

Network with your peers and with specialists useful to you and your clients.
Impress prospects, sources of client referral and clients with our proprietary information.
Most of our members, from their home base, serve a national clientele; some of them international.
They involve other specialists, regardless of their locale, in dealmaking when local talent is not equivalent to specialists whose office is in another locale. The IPBBA encourages this type of networking.
