Now is the best time to sell.
If you have been considering the sale of your business sometime in the future, there are several market factors that make now the best time in which to sell.
- Mergers and acquisitions are booming – the result of nearly every U.S. industry reshaping itself to better compete in today’s global market.
- Companies are looking to acquisitions as the fastest path to growth – many buyers believe it to be more cost efficient to buy rather than to build sales.
- The stock market’s boom is raising the stock values of public companies – they are using their increased equity to fund transactions, and using these acquisitions to build sales and earnings to boost stock prices further.
- Prices of companies have risen to new heights – with the massive availability of money in the hands of public companies and private investment groups, prospective buyers are competing for good businesses and bidding up prices.
- Low interest rates and a liberal lending environment – banks are looking for new revenue sources and are aggressively pursuing merger and acquisition financing with reduced terms and relaxed requirements.
- The small business market ($1 – $50 million) dominates the business and sales acquisition activity – private investment groups, family offices, publicly held companies and high net worth individuals desire profitable businesses.
- This market for acquisitions will not continue forever – history has shown the economy to be cyclical and capital will not always be as plentiful as today.
