Two Membership Paths. One Shared Mission.
AZBBA offers two membership options, each contributing to our shared goal of strengthening Arizona’s business community.
Membership That Builds Your Credibility & Your Community
AZBBA membership opens doors to new opportunities, meaningful relationships, and professional growth. As Arizona’s only nonprofit association focused exclusively on business brokerage, we offer members access to the tools, training, and exposure they need to thrive.
- Listing visibility through the AZBBA Member Directory, a trusted public resource for buyers and sellers.
- Opportunities for co-brokering and shared listings — increasing deal flow and market reach.
- Mentorship from experienced professionals who understand the Arizona market.
- Access to exclusive legal forms and documents developed by AZBBA attorneys.
- Continuing education opportunities, CE credits, and networking events throughout the year.
- Exposure for affiliates who support transactions — including lenders, attorneys, and CPAs.
The Certified Business Broker (CBB) Program
One of AZBBA’s most respected and unique programs is the Certified Business Broker (CBB) designation.
This professional credential is awarded exclusively to regular AZBBA members who meet specific education and experience requirements established by the association.
For business owners and buyers, the CBB designation signals trust by proving that the broker they’re working with is trained, experienced, and committed to ethical, informed representation.
