If you are a company owner with a potential acquirer circling around you looking to make a deal, congratulations on making it this far. Think about all the hard work and vision it took to get from the initial company launch to this exciting next phase, and commend yourself and your team.
Private equity investors, roaring ahead to another prolific year of deals, are increasingly eyeing buys hidden away in the lower middle market: companies valued between $10 million and $100 million.
Many company founders and owners—provoked by the constant changes, challenges, and uncertainties of the federal small business marketplace—are pondering if 2022 is the year to transfer their business.
CEO Sharon Heaton discusses her outlook for lower middle-market M&A, the sectors that are in high demand right now and why 2022 will remain a seller’s market.
Small government contracting founders and owners are participating in the M&A market in ever-growing numbers, fueled by several general market trends; cheap money, looming capital gains tax increases and a clear understanding that smart acquisitions can super-charge growth.
An estimated $1.5 trillion in private equity money is looking for deals in 2022, with about 10-12% of that cash seeking buys in Transportation and Logistics (T&L). Strategic and private equity investors are seeking depth and breadth as they build out their T&L portfolios this decade.
