Michigan Business Brokerage Firm Recognized by International Business Brokers Association with 2025 Platinum Chairman’s Circle Award
Capital Business Brokerage has been recognized by the International Business Brokers Association with the 2025 Platinum Chairman's Circle Award — one of the highest honors in the business brokerage profession presented at the IBBA Annual Conference in Minneapolis.
Capital Business Brokerage, a Michigan-based business brokerage and M&A advisory firm, has been recognized by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) with the prestigious 2025 Platinum Chairman’s Circle Award for outstanding performance during 2025. The award was presented at the 2026 IBBA Annual Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The IBBA is the world’s largest professional trade association for Business Brokers and M&A Advisors. The Platinum Chairman’s Circle Award recognizes business brokerage professionals and firms that have demonstrated exceptional achievement in facilitating successful business transactions and helping business owners through the ownership transfer process.
“This recognition means a great deal to our firm because every successful transaction represents more than a closing,” said Haroon Bhatti, Managing Director of Capital Business Brokerage. “Behind every business sale is an owner, a family, employees, customers, and years of sacrifice. Our responsibility is to help business owners navigate that transition with strategy, confidentiality, preparation, and care.”
Capital Business Brokerage works with business owners throughout Michigan and the surrounding region, assisting with business valuations, confidential marketing, buyer qualification, negotiations, due diligence coordination, and successful closings. The firm serves Main Street and lower middle market business owners across a variety of industries.
Emily Bowler, Executive Director of the IBBA, congratulated this year’s award recipients: “The professionals recognized through the IBBA’s Member Excellence Awards program represent the highest standards of our profession. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to helping business owners successfully transition their businesses have a lasting impact on entrepreneurs, employees, families, and communities.”
Award recipients are recognized based on verified business transactions completed during the previous calendar year. The IBBA’s Member Excellence Awards program celebrates professionals who demonstrate excellence in business brokerage and mergers and acquisitions advisory services.
