Session Overview
During the early stages of the pandemic, mergers and acquisitions activity ground to a virtual and unexpected halt. There was just too much uncertainty and pricing was impossible. Then, in almost the blink of an eye, M&A turned on a dime, resulting in 18 months of unprecedented deal volume which is amongst the highest ever recorded.
Topics will include:
What will the next 18 months bring in the world of M&A?
• As a seller, is now the right time to enter the market?
• How will higher interest rates impact deal volume, multiples, and buyer’s acquisition strategies?
• What steps should a seller be taking now to best prepare for an exit?
