What Are Business Buyers Buying?

The Q1 2021 Market Pulse Survey Report indicates that for those purchasing businesses for less than $1MM, Personal Services and Consumer Good Businesses are the top overall in purchased businesses. Notably, Restaurants moved down a notch in the <$500K range. In the $1MM-$50MM, Construction/Engineering and Manufacturing let the types of businesses purchased.

If you own a business in one of these top market sectors, note that Buyers are plentiful and seeking to purchase in these market sectors. Now may be a great time to transition to that next phase.
 
To start planning, determine how much money you will need to receive for your business to be able to live the life you want afterward. Think about these questions: What do I have now, and what do I need? Most people do not have their “number” figured out, but with a little work, you can get there quickly. Get some professional help from a wealth manager or financial planner to fine-tune that number.
 
We are here to help when you need to determine the marketability and approximate value of your business. For more information, please contact us by messaging us here or calling our office at 804-464-3898.
