First Half Results are In

In an effort to keep you up to date on the state of the market for buying and selling a business in Orange County or the rest of the county , I am sharing information from a couple of reports which give us an interesting insight to the market.   Bizbuysell, a prominent website for listing businesses for sale, reports a significant spike in small business sales for the second straight quarter.  Forbes reports Private Companies forecast strong revenue growth.  Axial (which tracks larger enterprise value transactions)  forecasts for the balance 2013  are very optimistic.  In my opinion, this tells us the climate for selling or buying a business has improved and is moving in the right direction.
