Brokers were optimistic when looking ahead at 2014 as 87 percent projected an increase in completed deals and the majority of advisors anticipated that overall deal volume will increase, according to the Fourth Quarter 2013 Market Pulse Quarterly Survey Report published by the Pepperdine Private Capital Market Project, International Business Broker Association (IBBA) and M&A Source. As deals get larger, advisors were more likely to describe conditions as a sellers market. While the market is still clearly polarized, there is a shift toward greater seller leverage in every sector compared to Q4 2012. Download report here.
The quarterly report released today aims to evaluate market conditions for businesses being sold in Main Street market (values under $2 million) and lower middle market (values $2 million to $50 million).
