Good news for owners of valuable companies.
Mergers and acquisitions made a serious comeback in 2025, with some punchy valuations - and the trend is set to continue this year.
BUT - while there is greater appetite to invest in and acquire attractive companies, there is one important caveat.
Last year also saw a move towards higher value transactions, rather than an increase in the total number of deals agreed.
The message is clear. For business owners looking to increase the value of their company and achieve a capital event in the future - size matters.
That’s also the philosophy at Synergy where we turn independent companies into high-value groups.
