Despite volatility in the markets, M&A opportunity is holding strong for privately held companies. We are seeing a record number of Letters of Intent (LOIs) from buyers and record M&A deals. What’s driving this? Collectively, buyers still have a tremendous amount of cash, and they need to buy to survive. Many owners are exiting now – but are you ready?
