Market Update January 2022

Posted January 12, 2022

We’re still waiting for the year-end data from 2021, the results through 3Q are impressive:

The US middle market (deals below $250 million in value) saw the number of deals increase by 28% and the combined value of those deals increase by 49%; and
Transaction multiples for companies valued at $50 million or less are steady at 7.2x EBITDA or more!

So, if you’ve been thinking about selling, this might be a good time to have your company valued. An ASG Principal can answer many of your simple valuation questions over the phone.

Demand is strong, capital is available, and valuable multiples are attractive – but your company’s value depends on industry and your revenue and income trends.
