2023 Recession Plans

Its impossible to turn on the news and not hear talk of a recession. I understand that some industries will be better off than other but I'm curious as to how everyone is thinking about the future. 

How is the looming recession impacting your search and/or investment choices?

I think there are a few factors: (i) industry - for the most part, searchers often target non-cyclical sectors where the impact of a recession is less acute, (ii) buyer and seller expectations - there may be a gap, in which case some sort of structuring or performance based payment might help, (iii) capital raising - both equity and debt is more expensive now and mindsets likely shift negative vs the last couple of years. Nothing insurmountable, but considerations to bear in mind

Everything happening should be reflected in the purchase price. The future is still bright.
