IBAUnited is an association of Independant Business Advisors. Hence the name, IBA United.
We are Business Advisors with real life experience as entreprenuers and business owners ourselves. We help other people improve companies, grow and scale companies, and exit companies.
From our experience we created the 5by5 Business System. 5by5 is a unique system for scientifically and systematically improving and growing any business.
Independent Business Advisors
We offer services nationwide as business advisors. Each state has different laws so our services might be structured differently depending on your location. Contact us to find out how we can help you.
Independent M&A Advisors
Each office operates independently and offers our own unique set of services and experiences. This allows us to be flexible enough to offer you the best services, and bring in strategic partners to help when applicable. When we dont' know the answer ourselves, we can call on "the big dogs" in our network in order to give you the best direction in buying or selling a company.
This group approach allows us to have great synergy in providing you the highest level of service.
Business Advisor Training
Besides our life experience, each IBA United Business Advisor goes through specific training on best practices and procedures to become a business broker. We always recommend training from associations like the IBBA and TABB. We provide additional resources and support unique to each office to offer you a unique and superior service.
Business Advisor Mentorship
On top of these standard trainings, each IBA United Business Advisor also has a direct mentor. Each Business Advisor Mentor has years of experience so that no deal is ever "done alone". Every deal has multiple sets of eyes that can review and add more value to you, helping you to achieve the best results. This synergy that IBA brings is one of the unique advantages to working with IBA United.
Business Advisors... by THE book
A core principle of IBA United Business Advisors is our commitment to operate according to Biblical principles. We aren't just providing a service. We are providing our work for the King of Kings. Our primary goal is to provide service as unto the Lord and be proper serverants of God. We strive to make sure every word and deed is of the highest ethical standards and honesty.
Our goal is not just to help you win and for you to be fully satisfied with the service we provide. Our goal is to serve God with the highest standards of ethics and service.
The Meaning Behind the IBA United Logo
At first glance, the IBA United logo is simple — a clean, circular mark. But behind the simplicity lies a rich and intentional message that reflects the heart of our mission and the nature of business itself.
A Wave in Motion
The shape at the center of the logo represents a wave — constantly moving, shifting, and building. In business, as in life, we rarely travel in a straight line. There are ups and downs. High seasons and low. Forward motion, setbacks, and recoveries.
We chose a wave because it symbolizes momentum — not perfection. Business is not a static thing. It’s alive. It moves. It learns. And if stewarded well, it grows stronger with each cycle.
The Power of the Circle
The circle surrounding the wave speaks to the cyclical nature of business growth. Strategies are tested, refined, improved. Customers are served, retained, referred. Teams are trained, stretched, strengthened.
It’s a visual reminder of iteration — that improvement happens over time, not in one perfect launch.
And most importantly, the circle reminds us of a powerful truth:
If we do not give up, we will succeed.
Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
A Symbol of Resilient Faith
The IBA United logo is not just about business. It’s about calling. It's about building something lasting — with integrity, service, and perseverance.
As Christian advisors, we are called to reflect God’s character in how we build, lead, and serve. The logo stands as a quiet but constant encouragement to press forward — even when the path is long, and the results are still forming.
This is the IBA way:
- Cyclical progress.
- Thoughtful iteration.
- Steady obedience.
- Faithful service.
Our logo is a visual anchor — a reminder that we are all in motion, and we are building something together that matters.
