Outlook for Selling Your Business in 2025
Most of our current sale mandates are under offer at present, testament we believe to the established contacts we have with funded buyers and the thorough job we do in approaching the market. There are a good many buyers in the market with perhaps fewer business owners looking to sell at present. There are certainly headwinds in the economy, but good businesses will always attract good offers, and if your business continues to thrive in this environment, it will make for an attractive investment for both trade buyer and private equity buyers.
