I enjoyed this article from PWC, and I think it has insights for the Main Street market here in Canada as well. Private equity firms continue to be active in the M&A landscape, seeking opportunities across various sectors—including smaller businesses. This could be a great time to position your business to attract interest from investors by focusing on your company's unique strengths, shoring up weaknesses and improving your financials. Companies of all sizes are also pursuing acquisitions to expand their offerings and market reach. Your business might be an attractive target if it offers unique products, services, or market access, so consider how to showcase what makes your firm irresistible to potential buyers. With the expected uptick in M&A activity, buyers are being thorough in their evaluations. Think about how to support and validate of your business's value: early work here can help avoid the dreaded retrade. While the current market direction is still unclear, many best practices for preparing your business for sale are evergreen. Being proactive can position you well, no matter which way the wind blows. One final thought before you digest Brian Levy's fine work: even if your transition is many years away, there has never been a time with more resources, tools, and qualified people to help you make the inevitable transition out of your business a planned one.
