    I described the type of business we had, and the type of buyer we were looking for and Tanya delivered. She is extremely professional, thorough, and of high integrity. I have already recommended her to two other businesses, and will continue to recommend Inix. I could not be happier with the service provided the results delivered..”

    L G

  • “Tanya has been my "go to" contact for business valuations since 2018.

    She spends extensive time getting to know the business and her experience in the broker industry will make anyone feel comfortable working with her. I was referred to her by a colleague who used her services back in 2015 and highly praised her services. I highly recommend INIX services !!!”

    D P

  • “I have worked with more than a few business brokers in Michigan and Tanya went above and beyond to become a trusted adviser.

    We had a very lengthy and tumultuous process to sell our business. It seemed as if we were caught in a perfect storm more than once along the way. Tanya was there at every turn to guide and provide advice to best handle the situation. At the end of the day, it was Tanya's experience and contacts that helped make a deal.”

    M P

  • “I recently sold my small business with the help of Tanya Popov.

    Tanya is very knowledgeable, communicates well, and told me & the buyer what we needed to do every step of the way. I also enjoyed working with her. I definitely recommend Tanya if you're looking for a business broker.”

    L G

  • “I would recommend Tanya from INIX Brokerage - The best Michigan Business Brokers.

    Tanya Popov was the broker for my counseling practice purchase in May, 2016. The facilitation and support that was provided to me during this transition made the business purchase possible. Tanya facilitated a smooth transaction.”

  • “The team at INIX Consulting & Brokerage made the process smooth, discreet, and efficient. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

    L G

    Tanya Popover spent over a year working with our difficult purchase. She was always there to help and guide us through the lengthy process. She is the best Business Broker in Wayne County MI.”

  • “This is my second business sale with Tanya Popov and the team at INIX - MI Business Brokers. I encourage you to call them today.

    I couldn't be happier with INIX Business Brokers! My broker had the challenge of juggling myself and my business partner (that does not always see eye-to-eye) and she did it unemotionally and in the best interest of all parties involved. Communication, negotiation and the "final sale" process was all flawless and as you would expect.”

    N C

  • “I would highly recommend Tanya to anyone looking to buy or sell a business in Michigan.

    I recently completed my second business deal with Tanya Popov. The first was a purchase and this last one was a sale. Tanya was knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with on both deals.”
