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 the International Business Brokers Association and every State trade association existed, there was VR.
VR individuals created these associations and affiliations in the hope of achieving 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 that is still in existence, and our training materials continue to form the foundation of the association’s certification program.
VR Has Sold More Businesses in The World Than Anyone.®
