E-commerce / Retail enters 2H-2025 with deal making defined by resilient end-demand, a rebound in deal value on fewer, larger transactions, and a strategic pivot toward data- and advertising-led profit pools. Macro conditions are stabilizing—the IMF now projects ~3.0% global GDP growth for 2025 while warning that tariff volatility remains a swing factor for boardroom...
IT services and MSPs sit at the center of enterprise cloud, security, and AI adoption. Since 2021 the market has moved from a stimulus-boosted surge to a financing-led slowdown (2023) and into a 2024–2025 rebound aided by improving credit and record private-market capital deployment in certain pockets. Private markets activity remained uneven in 2024, but...
Few owners will ever forget the moment they sign the purchase agreement that ends one chapter of their lives and begins another. Yet even in the rush of documents, wire confirmations, and farewell speeches, one reality always follows close behind: taxes. For sellers in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) arena, federal and state capital-gain levies...
Selling a company is a milestone most owners reach only once, and the numbers involved can be life-changing.

Many owners, CEOs, and corporate‑development leads view the Letter of Intent (LOI) as the official starting pistol for an M&A transaction. In reality, the deal’s fate is largely sealed well before any...
If you’ve ever been part of a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transaction, you’ve likely heard all sorts of buzz around preparing and maintaining a data room. Some might even call the process akin to burying seller secrets in a “digital graveyard,” never to see the light of day again. It sounds dramatic, but it underscores...
Sometimes, the prospect of acquiring a business feels almost like an adrenaline rush—full of possibility, growth, and the promise of expanding your empire.
