Anyone seeing what I'm detecting among SMB owners? There seems to be a surge of business sellers, wanting to avoid losing to rising costs for labor and materials. They're hoping buyers will compete to pay a premium price for their company during the "seller's market."

Timing seems right, because there's also a surge of people looking to buy SMBs.

Beware of a disabling or fatal case of business buyer fever. Right now buyer fever is raging. It’s contagious. It’s fueling unhealthy competition among business buyers. And that plays into the hands of sellers.• Is value increasing or is it merely pricing that is increasing?• How do you know when it’s a seller’s market?• Will buying the bubble burst your business acquisition?• Consider these 52 variables to help you navigate during these confusing and risky times.Never forget your lost income opportunity: Irrationally deferring completing an M&A transaction presents at least two kinds of (avoidable) potential losses. (1) Missing out on buying the best opportunity that you’re going to find. (2) Lost income opportunity, which is what you would have earned every month longer it takes to complete your deal.
