After a decade-long bull run, mergers and acquisitions activity slowed sharply earlier this year as the economy came to a halt. But there are signs of life in the M&A market according to a recent report from Goldman Sachs. According to industry analysts, companies whose business dropped during the lockdown, should ultimately return to normal within the next six to 12 months. These business categories include industries such as construction supplies, automotive, and capital goods. The decision of when to sell a company can be one of the most challenging decisions that business owners or management teams face. The optimal timing is largely dependent on M&A market conditions, the health of the broader economy, and the readiness of the business and its ownership. Careful preparation before launching a sale process is critical to the success of a transaction and helps to maximize value and minimize disruption to the company’s day to day operations during the process.
