IBA helped me acquire my first business. As with any change, it was an emotional rollercoaster. IBA educated and put me at ease throughout the process - be it the appraisal, loan, lawyers & closing. They have a wealth of knowledge and once you start working with them, you realize that they have your best interest at heart. To them its more about finding the right match between buyer and seller rather than just another deal. They took utmost care throughout the process and went beyond their role for a newbie. Highly recommend them if you are in the market to either buy or sell. Thank you IBA!

Stephen at IBA successfully found a buyer for our business and we closed in early 2021. Selling a business can be an emotional and trying event, and Stephen was there throughout the process acting as our advocate, advisor, and occasionally our therapist. Highly recommended.

IBA sold two businesses for us in 2020 - in the middle of a pandemic. That takes patience, creativity, and knowledge. Gregory did a great job of keeping all parties calm and moving forward. He seems to love helping people achieve their goals, and he was as kind and helpful to our buyer as he was to us, the sellers. In the end, all parties went away feeling like they got a good deal. I would recommend IBA highly to anyone considering buying or selling a business.

We recently worked with Oliver Kotelnikov of IBA to sell our 20+ year restaurant. Olivers experience, knowledge of the industry, and his steady guidance throughout the entire process facilitated a successful transaction for all parties involved. His attention to detail and ability to lead the process gave us confidence at every step. We would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a business in the hospitality industry.

Oliver, of IBA, recently sold our restaurant of 22 years. Not only was he able to bring a qualified buyer to the table, but was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire transaction process - taking us across the finish line to retirement. Thank you so much Oliver of IBA! We highly recommend your services to anyone looking to buy or sell a business :)

Gregory and his team at IBA are top-notch. I was working with a different broker representing me as a buyer, and Gregory was fine with co-brokering (which many brokers don’t allow). As a result the transaction went very smoothly and everyone was happy. IBA has a very professional and experienced team!

Bill Southwell did an excellent job helping us complete a business acquisition. I dont think the transaction would have been completed without Bills leadership and guidance. The business acquisition process IBA employs is unique and advantageous. I highly recommend Bill and IBA.

Greg was able to bring a prospective buyer who matched our needs. During the process, Greg was able to effectively lead us through the process in a calm, organized fashion. Creatively solving the inevitable “bumps” in the road to completion. I feel strongly, that the sale of our business would not have been as successfully completed without the leadership and consulting performed by IBA

Had my business listed with 2 different brokers over the course of 3 years and only had a handful of unqualified buyers. Listed with Bill and had a qualified buyer and full price offer within a few months in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Extremely difficult lender with a ton of ticky tacky requests but he helped my all the way through.

Because of my work, helping to defer capital gains tax, I interface with many business and real estate brokers. I can say without reservation that Gregory Kovsky, and his team at IBA are in a premier league of their own. I have found them to represent the highest standards in the buying and selling of businesses and real estate. They represent that intangible quality on which you can not put a price tag...You can TRUST them to work in your best interest.

We were pleased to work with IBA NW in helping us to find the right buyer for our business. We are a leading 50 year old family run flower shop in our community. Working with Gregory Kovsky, Owner/President was the absolute best experience we could have hoped for. He was very knowledgeable about our particular business and knew what he was doing. Super thorough, and really looked out for our interest. We couldn’t be more pleased and satisfied with the whole experience. We would highly recommend this company!

After building my business for 26 years,I was ready to deploy my exit strategy for retirement. I thought I could sell my business on my own. Over the years I even had several competitors tell me when I was ready to sell to call them. After one year of trying to sell on my own I found the offers were at prices or terms that were not in my favor.I started to interview business brokers and I was unimpressed with them until I spoke to Gregory Kovsky with IBA. He really spent time evaluating my business and my goals to make sure I was a good match for his services. Gregory took the time to explain how he determined the valuation for my business . In four months he was able to produce a quality selection of potential buyers . I completed the sale of my business within 6 months of working with Gregory as my broker. I always felt that he was looking out for my best interest and he was able to negotiate the terms that I wanted.It is my pleasure to highly recommend Gregory Kovsky when you are in need of a business broker.Tamara Simon

I cant praise IBA and Oliver Kotelnikov enough in thanking them for a very thorough and professional process in selling our business and real estate. Oliver guided us throughout the process with confidence, reassurance and a high level of integrity as we navigated through all of the steps in making a smooth transaction. Within a week or so of listing our business, Oliver had a couple of interested parties and within a short amount of time after that, he had secured a buyer. I would highly recommend IBA to anyone wanting to market their business!

When we decided to sell our business, our trusted accountant recommended IBA. Knowing wed owned our restaurant for 14 yrs., he specifically referred us to Oliver Kotelnikov. Upon meeting with Oliver, it was apparent he was an experienced broker who was knowledgeable, patient, and excellent at always keeping us informed. When we felt ready to sell, Oliver had already developed a complimentary Business Evaluation which was carefully executed, and included his recommendation of what our business would sell for at fair market value.After signing a Sale Listing Agreement with IBA, Oliver assisted us in countless ways, always available for questions, helping us walk through buyers, and keeping us aware of every necessary detail. Within 2 months we had an excellent buyer who offered full asking price. Then the real work began and Olivers extensive knowledge and expertise in completing the sale were invaluable! We would highly recommend Oliver to anyone wanting to sell their business. We could have never done it without him!

I first reached out to IBA for buyer representation in an out of state business acquisition. It was my first one, and I knew I needed an expert on my side. Not only was Curt Maier from IBA an extremely valuable resource eager to share his expertise at each juncture, but he also saved me from what could have potentially been a very bad deal, allowing me to walk away unscathed. By fate or luck, or whatever powers that be, Curt connected me with Greg, the owner of IBA, and he happened to have friends selling a local business that was directly within my area of interest. We recently closed, and I could not be happier with the transaction, as well as the quality of the business itself, and the transparency IBA displayed throughout the entire process. I have found the right place for me, and I would not be here without IBA. Thank you Greg and Curt!

Seattle is becoming recognized as a leading marketplace in the US brokerage community. One of the true leaders in this space is IBA in Bellevue. They provide comprehensive representation services with market leading knowledge, experience, and professional skills. Their services are free until their clients achieve their transaction goals. They deserve serious consideration when it comes time to sell one of your most treasured possessions - your business.

I have used IBA to both sell businesses and buy a business, and I have used both their Seattle and Portland offices. I can say that in all my dealings with them I have found them to be reputable, thorough and helpful. For example, one of my businesses had office locations in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland and IBA sold all three in a timely and professional manner. They have been in the business for a long time and have a deep client data base. I highly recommend IBA and would use them again myself.

Selling a business can feel like an insurmountable task, but Gregory took great care to make sure the process was a smooth and professional and simple as it can be to sell a business.Gregorys decades of experience were apparent from day one and as the process continued his attention to detail and insight were key to keeping the process moving forward and making sure we had the best possible opportunity for the business.Gregory was prompt and professional throughout the whole experience and I would use him again and can say he comes strongly recommended.

Review №27

I first came to IBA four years ago as a potential buyer for a business in which IBA was representing the seller. In the end, although the sale did not end up going through I continued to maintain a relationship with Gregory as I found my dealings with IBA to be fair, professional and most importantly – trust worthy. In fact a short while later I referred my brother in law to IBA to help guide him in the acquisition of a business.If you’re in the market to purchase a business or sell a business you’ve worked hard to grow, what you’ll find is that the folks at IBA are a wealth of small business knowledge and have the right network in place to accomplish your goal. During my due diligence Gregory referred me to some SBA lenders that fit the profile of the deal we were working on and continued to serve as a resource throughout the process. At the end of the day this is where I believe IBA stands apart – beyond the domain knowledge of buying and selling businesses they know how stressful and sensitive the process can be and are willing to guide you along the way. Do yourself a favor and give them a ring!

Review №29

Buying or selling a business presents challenges. And when the buyer and seller have been friends for many years, it makes it even more challenging. Sellers always see things from their perspective, especially if they have built the business from the ground up. Buyers are always fearful they may be spending too much. Gregory Kovsky and IBA were able to work with both Buyer and Seller in this case and have us both come away completely satisfied with the outcome (and still remain friends) . And this accomplished during the most unsettling of time. Thank you Gregory.

My first experience with IBA was about 25 years ago, as we pursued potential acquisition opportunities. Since then we have acquired two different entities through IBA (one of the deals involved commercial real estate), and we have found the staff to be of the utmost in integrity and competency. Entrepreneurial transactions involve adept navigation on a variety of nuances - IBA understands this.

Gregory was a great asset in assisting me in the valuation of my company during a transition of ownership. While I ultimately chose to retain the ownership of my company, IBA performed a great service in helping me understand the overall market both in Portland (my market) as well as the Northwest as a whole. I would recommend using Gregory for any business sale or transition of ownership without hesitation.

I have been a business broker for the past 16 years and have worked with IBA in Bellevue on a handful of deals as a buyers broker. My experience with IBA has been nothing but positive. They are extremely professional and the best part is they are highly organized. In addition, their expertise in valuing a business is refreshing as they take real market knowledge when pricing a company. Its great to have a competitor/colleague in the business you can truly respect and look forward to working with.

Review №34

I have enjoyed the experience of working closely with Gregory and IBA on several transactions representing buyers who purchased businesses Gregory had listed. In each instance, Gregory presented thoroughly prepared information which was accurate and fairly represented the business for sale. Throughout the process, Gregory kept both parties on track resulting in successful closings. His attention to detail, negotiating skills, and overall passion to get the deal done is exemplary. Any small business owner should consider engaging Gregory to sell their business as he will do an outstanding job ! It is a pleasure doing business with such a stellar professional.

I cant say enough positives to tell you what its like working with Gregory. Selling a business that has been your life for 35 years and represents the huge majority of your net worth was stressful. In hind sight there was absolutely no need for stress. Gregorys calm demeanor and Ill take care of it approach made the process easy. Gregory started by giving me a value of the business that was significantly higher than I anticipated and then produced multiple buyers who bid the price up. I would love to give 10 stars.

Gregory Kovsky was great to work with when I purchased my business in 2015. He introduced me to a qualified SBA lender, to legal and accounting contacts. The business I bought was exactly what was represented by the sellers, and Gregory did a good job of being the fair broker. At closing he made recommendations to me that helped me save over $20,000 in taxes related to the transfer of assets to my company. I would highly recommend Gregory.

Over the years I have worked with Gregory Kovsky and IBA on numerous buy-sell transactions, with Gregory representing the seller while I’m representing the buyer.He is thorough, well-prepared, and competent. His goal is to get a win-win deal closed and he’s very good at it. Unlike some in our industry he’s a straight shooter. He’s honest and doesn’t manipulate to get a better deal for his client as he realizes the buyer has to be successful after the close.I enjoy working with him when my clients are interested in a business he’s selling. I highly recommend him, and to show it, I regularly refer the owners/sellers of businesses to him.

My business partner and I have worked with Greg Kovsky on two transactions. One on the buying end, and one on the selling side. In both cases, we were very pleased and impressed with the knowledge, input, and integrity with which Greg handles his clients and transactions.Several times, his strategic input was extremely useful in achieving a successful outcome.I would highly recommend Greg & his office to anyone looking to work through a purchase or a sale. Weve done both, and wed work with Greg again without a second thought.

As an SBA loan officer I have had the privilege to work with the team at IBA on several transactions. They truly take the time to get to know their clients and advise, even if the right answer is a different solution than expected. Recently, I was referred a buyer from Gregory who wasnt the right fit for their listing and was able to help him finance a different business. This team really looks out for the entrepreneurs they serve. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to work with them in the future!

Gregory helped me with the purchase of my business in 2003. He helped me navigate every twist and turn in a way that made me feel very comfortable working with him. At one point he even told me that he did not want me to proceed with the transaction unless i felt that it was a win-win situation for myself as well as the seller. He would rather lose my business than have me complete a transaction that I was unsure about.Since my purchase, Gregory has become a trusted adviser as I navigated the travails of business ownership. After the economy went through recession in 2008 he helped me navigate the aftermath, come up with solutions and managed to get me to see that not only could I continue, but that I wanted to continue and to proceed with passion.If you are considering buying or selling a business, I highly recommend working with Gregory. He can be trusted to give you the guidance that you need to make confident decisions about your options.

Review №46

After spending close to twenty years running my business, I knew I was ready to move on to something new. It was finally time to sell my business. Finding a business broker who would represent my best interests was an interesting task, as I began the process of vetting different brokers. Several of the initial brokers I interviewed seemed to be more concerned about their fees, retainers and “my” upfront marketing costs to take my business to market rather than developing a plan and strategy to find a buyer.Then I met Gregory Kovsky with IBA. Gregory sat down with me and discussed what my goals and objectives were with selling my business. He looked over my books, tax returns and after several days of digesting this information, we met again. He then proceeded to give me a valuation of what I may expect in a sale. He was not pushy, his demeanor was to help and support me, to obtain an outcome which was in my best interest. He then stated that if I was comfortable with his analysis of the business and if I wished to move forward we could discuss his fee schedule. His was far more reasonable than the other brokers I had interviewed.Immediately after we agreed to work together Gregory contacted one of the previous clients whom he had sold a business to a few years prior. We began discussions with this buyer and soon after, we entered into contract. After nine months of what I can only describe as an emotional roller coaster of ups and downs, we were headed into escrow to close. During this whole process there were many obstacles that came up. Gregory, problem solved, found solutions and pushed all parties forward, moving towards the final goal.I would say without Gregory’s tenacity, experience and relationships with banks and other professionals, his amazing ability to problem solve, this deal would very likely never have closedI once read a quote from Warren Buffet that basically said “Most people will have a Job… Some people, will find a career and will find success… If you find your Calling, you will have won the Lottery.”Gregory Kovsky found his Calling. Helping individuals buy and sell business is his DNA, its the blood that pumps through his body! This is what he lives for and truly when you speak with him, it is his passion. If you are serious about buying or selling your business, I believe there are few to none that surpass Gregory’s talents. Do yourself a favor and give him a call, you will be glad you did!Gregory, Thank you for EVERYTHING!Michael La MoriaMephisto Belleuve, Mephisto Seattle

My everlasting thanks to Greg for guiding and helping me navigate the process of and successfully selling my business which I owned and operated for over 26 years. Referred to me by a friend-of-a-friend I had no prior experience selling a business when I met Greg. At the outset his disciplined approach to establishing a range of values for my business produced a price higher than what I wouldve thought possible. Then within a matter of a couple of months he brought several interested parties to the table; again, surpassing my expectations. But Gregs contribution to my eventual and successful sale was far more than simply putting a value on it and lining up prospective buyers. Indeed with hindsight, that was easy part.Thereafter, acting as intermediary between all the parties involved (buyers, seller, attorneys, CPA’s, brokers, spouses and others) Gregs patience, excellent listening and communications skills, emphasis on transparency, and commitment to achieving a mutually beneficial sale (for seller and buyer) made the process and the likelihood of a successful sale far superior to what I couldve achieved on my own. And, throughout, Greg always put my interests ahead of his own to his credit and honor.I cannot thank Greg enough or recommend him more highly to anyone seeking to sell or buy their business.Sincerely and Gratefully,David PriceCPC Equipment, Inc.

Gregory Kovsky was referred to me by a business appraiser because he had past experience in my industry. Along with this, his great referrals, all around business knowledge, confidence and calm demeanor made me feel comfortable enough to choose him to broker my business. During the sales process, things can get a little stressful and Gregory always seemed to be available to answer my many questions to help put my mind at ease.

I was unexpectedly in a position of having to sell a manufacturing and repair business and uncomfortable about whom to proceed with. Google led me to IBA and Bill Southwell. My business was in Spokane and Bill was covering the area. I appreciated the fact that Bill had lived in the area and, as luck would have it, he had attended the same law school as my son who was running the business at the time. It felt like a good connection and, indeed, it was.Bill was very proactive in getting the word out to prospective buyers. He was always readily available and when an appropriate buyer was found Bill made the transaction a smooth one.Thank you, Bill.Leigh SchnellSpokane, WA

It was a pleasure working with IBA during all steps of selling our business, which we owned for over 25 years. We highly recommend Gregory and Jeffrey as trusted advisors. Their response time was always fast, they were always available for questions and also helped by recommending an excellent attorney.IBA was extremely helpful in valuing our company and effectively listing it. They brought forth several pre-qualified potential buyers in a relatively short period. Gregory and Jeffrey both spent considerable time consulting and advising on many questions and situations before and throughout the process. We were very satisfied with their level of service, response time and professionalism – a great experience throughout. IBA is worth every penny. We would not hesitate to work with them again, and highly recommend IBA.Eric and Marilyn Torrison

As a commercial real estate broker, my transactions often involve the sale or merger of a business in addition to the transfer of property. I have worked with Gregory Kovsky and his team at IBA for many years now.

Their service is thoughtful, sophisticated and timely. Without fail, they have always produced the best possible outcome with the client’s best interest in mind.

Review №63

My experience with Greg Kovsky and his firm IBA may be from a slightly different vantage point--as I was the Buyer of a company that Greg was representing. Greg was first introduced to me by my SBA banker and it was clear from the outset that Greg was extremely competent and skilled at what he does. After our first meeting, Greg entered me into IBAs database of qualified buyers (something no other broker Ive dealt with has or does), and over the next 12 months I was introduced to multiple businesses for sale which were of interest to me as a result of that tool. Greg and IBA seem to list and sell more bona-fide businesses in the Seattle market targeted to individual entrepreneurs like myself than any other firm. Though negotiating against Greg (since he was representing the Seller) was not easy, the deal successfully closed. I appreciate Gregs non-nonsense approach and rest assured that when the time comes for me to sell my business, Greg and IBA will be one of the first calls I make!

Review №64

I recently acquired a company where Gregory Kovsky of IBA represented the seller. Unlike many business brokers I dealt with in the Greater Seattle area, I found Gregory to be trustworthy, very organized and thorough. He advocated hard for his client and, at the same time, he was helpful with constructive ideas, referrals and suggestions to show me, the buyer, a path to success. At every turn, he demonstrated his commitment to a win-win outcome.When you work with Gregory Kovsky two qualities stand out: transparency and responsiveness. These two qualities combine to inspire confidence in the transaction and the process that guides it. He is prompt in providing data as requested and ready to arrange meetings between buyer and seller to exchange information, get to know each other and explore a meeting of the minds.I never felt like I am “being sold”. Instead, Gregory facilitated opportunities for both parties to make well-informed decisions. He was always straight forward and willing to engage in a healthy debate in support of what is reasonable & fair in the marketplace.Working with Gregory was a very good experience with a successful conclusion. I would highly recommend his services to anybody looking to sell a business. I would also recommend that buyers keep a close eye on IBA listings.
