READ FURTHEROur company was fortunate enough to have the guidance and direction from the staff at IBEX to help sell our company. We especially would like to recognize our Broker Russ Goforth for all of his determination, eye for details and never making us feel that we were not a priority. Choosing a firm that understands your needs and goals makes a difference long term not only for your future but for the future of your company!
I listed my business with International Business Exchange in September 2016 and they found a buyer and completed the purchase by May 2017. I am very pleased with the professional manner in which they treated me and represented my business. Russ guided me through the entire process and I would highly recommend IBEX to anyone seeking to sell their business. 5 Stars!
The experience working with International Business Exchange to sale our software /MSP /MSSP business far exceeded anything I expected or realized I would need. Even though I have run a business since 1994 I had no idea what was ahead of me. The company that purchased later mentioned to me how impressed they were with Mr. Harvey and they do acquisitions all the time.
Getting a deal done through normal circumstances can be challenging. Getting a deal done through COVID was far more difficult!!! Mike Miller and Jeff Elder were assigned to my deal and they were incredibly helpful getting it across the goal line. I'm grateful for the hands on approach at IBEX. I couldn't have gotten it done without them!
