Curious how everyone’s search is going lately

As an M&A advisor working with first-time buyers, searchers, and independent sponsors, I’ve seen a lot of shifts this year — especially around pricing expectations, financing hurdles, and seller dynamics. For those actively in market: What’s working (or not) in your deal sourcing? Any challenges landing solid opportunities or financing? How are recent SBA changes affecting your process? Always happy to share insights or compare notes — interested to hear what you’re seeing on the ground.
