Why We Exist

The standard the industry has been missing.

People trust matchmakers with something deeply personal, yet the professional matchmaking industry has grown without universal standards, consistent business practices, or independent review.

Consumers often have limited information when comparing professional matchmaking companies. Legal requirements differ from one state or country to the next. Too often, consumers are left to guess who they can trust.

IMCB sets the standard.

As an independent self-regulatory organization, IMCB publishes a professional Code of Conduct, accredits companies that meet it, and gives consumers the resources, directory, and complaint process they need to make informed decisions.
