  • Rebounding Economy Might Accelerate Your Business Sale Timeline

    When is the right time to sell?  

    It might not be as far into the future as you thought.  

    We interviewed Jim Afinowich, our Principal from Phoenix, Arizona to get his outlook on M&A in the US.

    While conventional wisdom holds that you should delay selling your business until the economy bounces back, a year or two from now, two factors could put that wisdom to the test:  

    • First, the economy is bouncing back more quickly than you think. 
    • Second, tax hikes under the Biden Administration could offset whatever gains you hope to achieve by delaying your sale.
