Prior to the pandemic, I spoke with searchers frustrated that it was hard to get firm commitments from owners to close deals. And the deals were generally at higher multiples than traditionally exist when buying small businesses.
Question out to searchers - has the dynamic changed significantly over the last couple of months? Are you finding more people willing to commit to deals?
