May 25, 2016 – INDEPENDENCE, OH – The International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) has announced that IBBA membership will now include unlimited access to PeerComps’ business valuation tool and comparable transaction database, beginning June 1, 2016.
“We wanted to enhance the IBBA membership value proposition with something that the business broker uses every day, and the retail value of which is greater than the price of IBBA membership,” stated Scott Bushkie, the IBBA’s Chairman. “Through our partnership with PeerComps, IBBA members will now literally SAVE money by joining the IBBA, while gaining access to two must-have resources for a successful brokerage practice.”
IBBA members will be able to access PeerComps’ database of comparable transaction data gathered from national, regional and local SBA lenders across the United States.
