Becoming a CABB Certified Business Broker (CBB) is one of the best things that you can do for your business broker career. A CBB differentiates you from the competition.  It can elevate you above other business brokers, by demonstrating that you are more informed, educated and experienced.  Many CBBs find it effective, when marketing their services, to stress how clients can benefit by insisting on dealing with certified professionals.  When co-brokering with other business brokers, the CBB conveys that you have the requisite knowledge and experience.  Once earned, you can proudly display the CBB initials beside your name in promotional materials and correspondence.

The requirements for obtaining a CBB are quite simple:

1. Be a CABB member in good standing;
2. Submit the CBB Application and proof of compliance;
3. Pledge to uphold the Association's Code of Ethics;
4. Successfully complete the following:
1. The two-day CABB California Business Broker Training Course 101 with a score on the test of 75 or better;
2. The one-day CABB 201 Recasting Course with a score on the test of 75 or better; and,
3. Submit proof of listing and/or selling 5 business opportunities that have successfully closed.
5. The CBB must be renewed every 4 years by passing the CABB Course 501 Advanced Business Broker Training.

So why not take your business brokerage career to the next level, by signing up for CABB 101 & 201, and becoming a CBB this year!
