Orange County Business Broker Update

Latest statistics on business sales from a leading business for sale website, Bizbuysell, reveal some interesting information which we have summarized below.

 

  1.  Business sales are slowing down
  2. Small businesses continue to show good financial performance overall but Pacific region showed lower financials
  3. Retail industry showed the biggest drop in sales activity
  4. Manufacturing sector produced the most activity.

My opinion is that the market is changing or about to change over the next quarter or so.  The change is from a seller’s market to either a neutral market or a buyer’s market.  More and more businesses will become available as we see the baby boomers decide it is time to retire.
