Nationally, optimism has increased among sellers planning to exit their businesses over the previous year, while business buyers have remained bullish on the M&A market. This has created another record-breaking year, quarter after quarter for business sales. This survey will explore whether these sentiments are mirrored in Connecticut and the impact the current market environment has on Connecticut business owners.
“This is arguably the best time to sell a business in recent history with higher multiples and median sale prices awarded to owners than previous years. Strong company revenues have helped to drive up valuations, but exit planning remains a critical component in how well owners fare when selling.” - Jeff Swiggett,CBI, M&AMI, VR Business Sales Owner
A report of the survey results will be published online and distributed to participants.
