The March Group Expects Favorable Valuations for Small and Midsized Businesses in 2010
With data in from 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, experts at M&A firm The March Group are expecting increased demand for the purchase of healthy small and midsized businesses.
Coral Springs, FL (PRWEB) May 6, 2010
Well performing small and midsized businesses should be seeing an increase in demand throughout the rest of the year according to experts at The March Group, a private mergers and acquisitions firm. For the firms that have managed to stay healthy throughout the recession, there is good reason to believe that the reductions in businesses sales in 2009 will lead to a rebound in sales. The M&A specialists at The March Group have gathered quite a bit of information to lead to this conclusion.
The number of mergers and acquisitions dropped in 2009, with less than half of what was done the previous year, and many of these sales involved businesses that were in financial distress. Mergers and acquisitions started to rebound a bit in the second half of 2009, however, and after the first quarter of 2010, it is beginning to appear as if activity is back to the level it was in 2005 when the economy was much healthier.
There may be some concern over the availability of credit, but the M&A experts at The March Group have seen that financing is still available for quality companies, although it is still not what it was three or four years ago. It has definitely improved compared to last year. The conclusion is that there is much business owners can do to increase their valuation. And with the pent-up demand for mergers and acquisitions, there are plenty of opportunities for well-performing firms. The March Group is prepared to help throughout the entire M&A process; for more information visit www. marchgroup. com.
