Timing, Timing, Timing
Written by Richard Jackim   

While MidCap Advisors has have never been a fan of trying to time the market, we do advise private sellers to prepare their businesses now for a transaction when markets turn around.

Current market conditions are very similar to those after September 11, 2001.  Business owners and business buyers were shell shocked and uncertain about what to do.  Smart business owners used 2002 and 2003 to tightened their operations, clean up their financials, and prepare their companies for sale when the market improved.

The current economic climate, like the markets in 2002 and 2003, will eventually turnaround. We believe that when the market does turn around it will happen quickly as it did in 2003 and 2004.  Business owners who have prepared and are ready to market then will benefit from pent-up demand.
 

What Others Have to Say

"We specifically wanted MidCap on this transaction and I couldn't be happier. MidCap really keyed in on what it was that I was trying to accomplish with my business. They worked hard to find me the right partner to perpetuate my business. From the first day I met with MidCap until the transaction was complete I was very comfortable that they were looking out for my best interests every step of the way."
