Company Overview

Spanning six decades, VR has been the innovative leader in the transfer of founder-owned, family-operated, or privately held businesses. Over that period, VR has defined the industry and built a profession for its business intermediaries and office owners. These are powerful words, but before there was the International Business Brokers Association, and every State trade association, there was VR.

VR individuals created these associations and affiliations in the hope that there would be uniformity in how businesses changed hands, so they donated their time to the betterment of the developing profession.
VR is the only founding member of the International Business Brokers Association still in existence, and our training materials still make up the foundation of the association’s certification program.
