Joe Warner, Certified Business Intermediary

Joe Warner, Certified Business Intermediary, who has been a professional instructor with the IBBA for several years, is teaching Introduction to Mergers and Acquistions at the spring IBBA conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The conference is being held from June 8th to the 13th, 2009.
Brokers will learn what is involved in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) process, the intermediary’s role and value within the process and the ethical decision-making that must be applied throughout. Introduction to the M&A process is geared toward individuals who are considering developing a professional practice as an M&A advisor. Such individuals may be general business brokers who want to understand the differences in activity and skills required in the middle-market; professionals and executives who have been involved in transactions but who have not acted specifically as a deal-maker and other professionals who have some related experience in middle-market transactions, but have not functioned as business brokers themselves, such as lawyers and accountants.
