Deep dives

The trend of selling businesses sooner

As a result of the pandemic, more people are selling their businesses earlier than expected. The pandemic has led to a 20% increase in the number of people moving up their sell-by dates. Additionally, there is a significant drop in the desire to pass businesses down to children, with more individuals opting to sell to third parties. Low interest rates have also boosted the private equity market, making it an interesting and lucrative environment for potential sellers.
