Looking at selling your business, but wondering when is the best time?  In a recent presentation to the 2022 CEO Strategy Summit, Atlanta partner and M&A Co-Chair Rhys Wilson tells you “Why the Time to Sell Your Business Is NOW!”:

• The M&A Market is hot and seller-favorable, with:
  • Record levels of deal volume,
  • High valuations,
  • Trillions of dollars in equity competing for deals,
  • Lots of low-cost debt available to buyers,
  • Limited universe of sellers, and
  • Favorable capital gains tax rates.
• The M&A Market is facing powerful headwinds that will take some or all of the steam out of deal-making:
  • Labor shortages = rising wages,
  • Supply chain disruptions = rising costs & delays,
  • China’s COVID shutdowns,
  • Geopolitical uncertainty, e.g., Russian invasion of Ukraine,
  • Higher costs + delayed revenue = EBITDA squeeze, and
  • Rising interest rates = slowing economy and slowing revenue growth.
• As a result, waiting until 2023 or beyond may not yield a higher sale price – and you may miss out entirely if the M&A Market collapses as it did in 2008!
