Institute for Independent Business (IIB)
The IIB is a 22-year international not-for-profit research organization that trains and accredits business advisors. Since the early 80's the Institute has been providing invaluable information and access to executive assistance to meet the needs of independent businesses.
Research shows that most owners/managers of small to medium sized businesses are concerned that they lack the skills, experience and time to be effective in all the varied key aspects of management, as well as the contacts and resources required to maintain and grow their businesses. To address these fundamental needs, the Institute provides access to highly skilled and experienced business people, who have been trained and accredited in advising and helping these businesses.
Businesses can benefit from support tailored to meet their specific needs and designed to assist in the implementation of what the business owner determines is critical to his/her business, based on a model that is proven to have helped many thousands of independent businesses.
The Institute only grant accreditation to a few select senior business professionals with a successful background as a business owner or a CEO .Candidates are then subjected to rigorous tests and examination to ensure that the scope of their knowledge will enable them to provide practical assistance to business owners ,regardless of their business type ,or the nature of the challenges it faces.
