A CBI is a Certified Business Intermediary. This designation is a professional credential earned by Business Brokers who are members of the International Business Brokers Association. They have to pass a rigorous course of 60 credit hours of classes, attend IBBA Conferences for professional development, demonstrate experience, and pass a difficult exam, and pledge to uphold the Association Code of Ethic’s to earn the designation. It is also not a “lifetime” award. It has to be re-earned thru course work and other professional activities every three years.

When choosing a Business Brokerage look for one that has leaders who hold the CBI designation. They can provide the leadership, organization and training for their organizations to provide you with the best service.
