Submit Transactions
In our ongoing effort to provide the richest private-company database to our members, IBA is expanding the data included in the IBA Market Database. To this end, IBA will reward you with “Universal Bucks” (redeemable for IBA membership dues, continuing education, and IBA publications, as well as more than 400 additional products and services from our alliance partners, the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA), ValuSource, and KeyValueData, in exchange for basic, verified data from your recent business sales transactions.
Three Data Levels
In order to encourage more detailed data submissions, IBA offers three levels of data submission. Level 1 requires the least number of data items, and Level 3 requires the most. The higher the data level, the more Universal Bucks you are awarded. Here are the current rates:
Level 1 = 25 Universal Bucks per transaction
Level 2 = 40 Universal Bucks per transaction
Level 3 = 55 Universal Bucks per transaction
Universal Bucks
Universal Bucks are good toward the purchase of any of the 400 services or products from IBA, KeyValueData (KVD), National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA), and ValuSource.
How to Submit Transactions
There are two ways to submit transaction data: (1) use our Microsoft® Excel workbook file (preferred), or (2) use one of our PDF forms. Both the workbook and the forms support all three data levels.
1. IBA Transaction Data Submission Workbook
We prefer to receive transaction data in the Microsoft® Excel workbook file that we designed for this purpose. To download the file, click here. If your web browser asks if you want to open the file or save it to your system, choose to save it to your system. Open the Excel file and enter your data. The workbook allows you to enter transactions at all three data levels. Complete instructions are available here.
Submit your completed workbook by e-mailing it to Jason Brown at jbrown@go-iba.org.
2. IBA Transaction Data Submission PDF Forms
If it is not possible for you to submit your data using the workbook (see above), you can use our PDF forms. There are three forms, one for each data level.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not enter the same transaction at more than one level. Enter each transaction only once. You will not receive additional Universal Bucks for duplicating transactions at multiple levels.
