2024 looks better for small business acquisitions

2024 looks better for small business acquisitions
Share on LinkedinShare on WhatsApp

Last year brought ebbs and flows in small business acquisitions thanks to an increase in interest rates; however, a flurry of transactions in the fourth quarter indicates that 2024 will be stronger.

The total of small business acquisitions in the U.S. last year was up less than 1% from the year before, according to BizBuySell’s Insight Data. The value of those deals increased from $6.3 billion to $6.5 billion.

More significant shifts were seen on a quarterly basis, with acquisitions down 10% in the first quarter, steady in the second and third quarters and up 12% in the fourth quarter.

Now may be a good time to make a deal, experts say. “If the business has a good return on the investment and ability to service debt, it’s likely a good time to buy, regardless of rates,” said Ken Bohenek, business intermediary at Murphy Business Sales. “Then, as rates soften, you’ll likely be in a much better cash flow position than those who bought when money was cheap, and rates quickly escalated.”
