Small Business M&A Shaken, but Resilient

The M&A market continues to be somewhat resilient, although sellers face hurdles and delays in Q2 2020.

In surveying Main Street business brokers (representing businesses valued under $2 million), we found that 36% of their deals had been delayed, 16% had been cancelled, and 40% remained unaffected. (Of note: business brokers previously reported 11% of their deals cancelled in Q1 2020.)
