Katrina Loftin Receives National Brokerage Industry Designations
RENO, Nev. –– Katrina Loftin, co-founder and managing partner of M&A Business Advisors has received national and industry designations as a Certified Business Advisor (CBI) and Merger & Acquisition Master Intermediary.
The designations, awarded in spring of 2018, recognize the Northern Nevada business woman as an exemplary broker with lifetime and industry achievements of professional experience and education.
The CBI is awarded by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) to members who have satisfied rigorous industry criteria, including completing a minimum of 68 hours of business brokerage courses and 10 exams. Recipients have also demonstrated a continued commitment to upholding ethical standards. M&AMIs are conferred by The M&A Source to recipients who have demonstrated professional excellence through verified transaction experience, education and peer review.
“I’ve had the opportunity to pursue my passion of making a difference in the lives of others for years,” Loftin said. “Buying or selling a business can be a convoluted process, and guided by an uninformed or inexperienced advisor, the outcome can be devastating. I’m proud to receive these designations and look forward to upholding them for years to come.”
Loftin’s designations follow a year of industry honors, including recent recognition as the “Dealmaker of the Year” in Nevada by Corporate Insider.
An industry veteran with more than 25 years of experience in business brokerage, Loftin established M&A Business Advisors with business partner, Matt Coletta in 2017. She leads the Reno office, regularly conducting transactions in both Nevada and California where she is licensed.
Loftin previously served as managing director of BTI Group’s Nevada Office before co-founding M&A Business Advisors. She serves as a Bosma Business Advisor and is regularly featured on Bosma on Business at 10 a.m. on Saturday mornings on News Talk KOH 780.
