ENLIGN advisors hold membership in the organizations that set the standard for the industry.
Credentialing bodies, including the IBBA (International Business Brokers Association), M&A Source, the Carolina-Virginia Business Brokers Association (CVBBA), the American Business Brokers Association (ABBA), and the Association of Professional Merger & Acquisition Advisors (APMAA), hold ENLIGN advisors to defined ethical standards and ongoing education requirements.
Membership in the Financial Planning Association connects ENLIGN to the broader financial planning community many Sellers already trust, a profession built on its own commitment to ethics and client-first advice, the same standard ENLIGN holds itself to.
