A New Year Means A New Chapter

I hope 2022 is an incredible part of your story. If that means selling your business in 2022, there is a lot to be optimistic about.

Here is a summary of a survey done by KPMG:

·    The boom in global mergers and acquisitions in 2021 will surge into 2022, fueled by abundant investment capital, historically low-interest rates, and a rebound in global economic growth, according to a survey of 345 corporate deal-makers in the U.S. by KPMG.

·    “Based on the volume of new pitches in November and December — transactions that would come to market in Q1 and Q2 of 2022 — there are no signs of a slowing deal market,” according to Philip Isom, global head of M&A at KPMG. While facing high valuations, “most investors have limited time horizons to invest in, so they may be willing to reach further on price than they have historically.”

·    More than 80% of the survey respondents across several industries expect total M&A valuations to rise further next year, with about one out of every three predicting at least a 10% increase, KPMG said. Deal-makers said transaction levels will remain robust because companies “need to remain on the offense with the competition” and “feel pressure from investors to raise their own valuations.”
