The Independent Business Awards (IBA) was established to correct a market imbalance. While global franchises dominate advertising channels, independent businesses dominate quality.
We are not a marketing agency. We are a data-accreditation body. Our sole purpose is to identify, verify, and elevate the top 10% of independent operators in the UK, USA, and Canada.
"A city without independent businesses is just a collection of roads. It is the local owner that gives a place its heartbeat."
