Innisbrook Equity Group, usually known as IEG, was founded in 1990 but actually dates back to 1975 in England where its principal, Jacques Hopkins, completed his first business sale cross-border transaction.

In those 45 years, all manner of businesses have been represented as a Transaction Consultant. The common thread is that virtually all clients were in financial trouble. IEG is recognized as handling transactions most colleagues shy away from because of their complexity or heavy attorney involvement.

That experience led to the development of a training course for members of the IBBA (International Business Brokers Association) on handling troubled businesses.

Now in semi-retirement, Jacques concentrates on clients with Intellectual Property as their keystone as well as Entertainment Industry involvement.
