M&A Outlook 2021
Update February 2021: With the ongoing restrictions of lockdown, the start of 2021 remains challenging for many from both a business and personal perspective. However, many businesses in the engineering, technology, facilities management and B2B service sectors remain open for business and operational. And there is light at the end of the tunnel with continued positive news on the vaccines.
Whilst some prospective sellers have postponed their exit plans, others are pressing on. Serious buyers with funds remain in the market, and our clients’ businesses are attracting a good level of interest, as proven by the deals we have agreed that are in our pipeline for completion in the coming months. M&A activity remains brisk.
If you would like advice on your exit strategy or simply a sounding board for any key decisions you are facing at present, do get in touch.
