Independent business reviews

What an independent business review is

An independent business review (IBR) is an objective assessment of a borrower’s business, typically requested when performance has slipped. It looks at the financial position, cash flow, management and the credibility of the plan, so decision-makers can choose a path with better information.

For bankers, attorneys & investors

Preserve value. Mitigate risk.
