As one can see from the chart below, global M&A, as we’ve reported before, is flying high!
M&A activity for the 11 months ended November 2014 is at a record high since 2011 as buyers and sellers are coming together at a very rapid pace. Our belief is that many companies and entrepreneurs want to get deals done before interest rates increase, there is a change in US President, or there is another economic or political crisis. Many people remember the depths of the Great Recession and are taking the necessary steps to ensure their companies and personal net worth are better protected from any future economic downturns.
Buyers are strengthening their companies and sellers are paying off debt, diversifying, and in some cases retiring. What are you doing to increase or protect your shareholder value?
