NorCal - CABB 501- CBB Renewal

There will be two CABB 501 courses this year, one in Northern California, as listed below, and one at the CABB Conference in Southern California in the Fall, so please plan accordingly.

Note: CABB 101 and CABB 201 are pre-requisites for CABB 501. CABB 501 is available for CBB members only.

CABB is dedicated to providing the best education for business brokers and intermediaries and has developed a wide range of courses on various topics that will help you provide value to your clients and manage your practice. Our educational courses are developed and taught by subject matter experts who are also practitioners.

This course is a unique opportunity to participate in an open forum discussion with Veteran Business Brokers who do business in California. It reinforces the idea that CBB's are the true professionals in our field and that we can always learn from each other. Since all attendees are experienced CBB's we encourage all of you to come to the class prepared to participate so we can all benefit from the group’s experience. Veteran Business Brokers who have taken this class have commented on how valuable it was to interact with other professionals in our industry and to get updated on current, relevant issues in our profession.
