Salt Lake City, UT (December 9, 2020): The Forbes M+A Group hosted a webinar earlier this month alongside intermountain west regional leaders in the private equity, legal advisory and commercial banking space. The group held a very informative discussion on the 2020 transaction environment, outlook for M&A in 2021 and implications for executives seeking to transact over the coming months.
Key takeaways included:
- Stabilized transaction landscape by Q3, 2020, both active in closed deals and reasonable valuation levels
- Strong levels of capital availability across the capital structure; continued historically high participation in the middle market by private equity investors
- Attractive macro outlook driving expectations for activity in 2021, although short-term risks may imply a need for flexibility in transaction timetables
- Potential sellers have a unique opportunity to prepare now from a diligence, organizational planning , and positioning perspective to engage with investors in the new year
The Forbes M+A Group is a mid-market M&A leader with the experience and execution resources to help companies as they seek to transact, and/ or raise new capital. We look forward to speaking further as you consider your options during the upcoming year.
