SellYourWay.org Launches New Resource on Certified Business Intermediary Benefits
SellYourWay.org has introduced a new interactive feature to help small business owners understand the value of working with a Certified Business Intermediary® (CBI). The tool outlines six key qualifications that define CBI professionals, including active membership in the International Business Brokers Association® (IBBA), extensive education requirements totaling 68 credit hours, and experience in successful sell-side transactions. These brokers must also pass rigorous exams and attend annual conferences to stay updated on industry trends. The initiative is backed by IBBA, a not-for-profit association with over 3,000 members globally. The goal of the new feature is to provide business owners with confidence when selecting qualified professionals for their sale process, ensuring expertise in valuation, negotiation, and market conditions. Emily Bowler, Executive Director at IBBA, emphasized that partnering with CBIs improves the likelihood of a successful transaction while offering sellers peace of mind. SellYourWay.org aims to educate small business owners on best practices when preparing to sell their businesses.
