Less businesses on the market?

by a searcher from Stanford University

2 years ago

Have any searchers or brokers noticed a slow down of new businesses coming to market? 

It seemed like there were plentiful opportunities (listings) in Q1 and Q2, but not so much anymore. Curious if this is localized to my experience over the past 1-2 months or if others are seeing this as well. I suspect many businesses are having a breakout year and so choosing not to put on market. What are others seeing?

We have continued to see good deal flow for businesses with SDE under $4M; owners still seem motivated given fear of capital gains tax changes in 2022.
