V. Agreement

Agreement
I consent to the personal background checks that accompany the Certified Business Exit Consultant® designation and wish to be considered for the training and certification program.

(NOTE: The Certification Committee does not review credit ratings with the major agencies as the notion has been dismissed that one's credit rating accurately indicates passion and aptitude for Business Exit Planning and Consulting work. The Committee will, however, screen for criminal records so applicants may want to disclose, with the submission of this application, an explanation of prior offenses).

Below are three (3) professional references and forthcoming is a non-refundable application fee of $350.00 which will be credited to the remaining costs for completion of my Certification.

If accepted into the CBEC® Program, I further agree that I will use my best efforts to follow the instructions that empower me to market and sell the exit planning service. I will document these efforts in my Exit Planning Training Modules and use these tools and the CBEC® system to advance my practice.

By selecting YES, I am accepting the Agreement terms stated above
