IBG Business: Principal, Managing Partner - Mountain States / Pacific Northwest

John Zayac founded International Business Group in1986 to provide the mid-market business seller with the high-quality resources and sophisticated M&A service traditionally reserved for firms valued over $100 million.

From IBG’s inception, John’s vision was to build it into the merger and acquisition industry’s most-comprehensive provider of acquisition advisory services for mid-market business sellers. His oversight of handling each client from start to finish built a record of success as a business intermediary, including hundreds of completed transactions in manufacturing, distribution and service industries.

According to Professional Car Washing magazine, it is the 10th largest chain of self-service car wash locations in the U.S.

John is a court-appointed expert in business valuations and transactions and is a nationally recognized speaker on the sale of privately held mid-market firms.
