DENVER, CO, June 24, 2014 - International Business Group, LLC, announces it has acquired the operating platform of IBG Business Services, Inc., a Denver-based M&A advisory firm founded in 1986. International Business Group, LLC operates under the name IBG Business. It is a joint venture by the leaders of several prominent M&A firms located in Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. The combined firms will more effectively service clients nationally and capitalize on synergies and strategic joint ventures to provide M&A advisory services. Jim Afinowich, an IBG Business principal and CEO of Fox & Fin Financial Group in Phoenix, said "IBG's respected history in the market provides the foundation for our growth plans."
