Independent Business Alliance
- Independent Business Alliance
The term Independent Business Alliance refers to local affiliates of the American Independent Business Alliance (AMIBA). According to AMIBA's website, "An IBA is a coalition of locally-owned independent businesses, citizens and community organizations united to support home town businesses in a community or geographic region...The AMIBA aims to help seed, support and network these alliances."
The first Independent Business Alliance originated in Boulder, Colorado in 1998 and developed the model that has been advanced by 45 local IBAs affiliated with the AMIBA in the United States and Canada, and emulated by many other groups not directly affiliated.
The name Independent Business Alliance is a service mark of the AMIBA that applies specifically to its affiliates.
