Interest rates, trade uncertainty, an ageing owner demographic, and a wave of private equity capital chasing fewer quality deals - the forces shaping your transition options are already in motion. 

This session gives business owners a ground-level read on where the M&A market actually stands: which sectors are commanding premium multiples, which are being discounted, and what serious buyers are prioritising right now. 

You'll leave with a clear understanding of current economic conditions and what they mean for valuation, timing, and your real options - not a vague overview, but an honest, specific look at the landscape so you can make better decisions about what comes next.
