I’ve kept careful track of what happened during the Great Recession and the pandemic. I forecasted and suggested ways for people on the M&A playing field to avoid pitfalls and make profitable deals. Lots of people did it. And more people unnecessarily lost opportunity while on the sidelines. What I said then applies. Right now.

My areas of interest certainly did not fair well during the last recession (heavy equipment sales and rentals; logistics) and the writing is on the wall for another one but denial is just a river in Egypt for sellers still. Almost all of those I talk to believe that the sale price is a reward for their past work rather than a projection for future earnings. My approach has been to try and share risk through earnouts, delayed payments on seller notes, etc. but most are not ready to move off the top asking prices yet.
