Additionally, FactSet-Mergerstat reported 10,600 announced M & A deals, a 46% increase in deals announced annually since 2002.

 “It wasn’t until I attended a 2005 seminar hosted by The March Group and met you’re your team one-on-one that I actually decided to sell my business, Smith-Sharpe Fire Brick Supply, LLC. The level of respect, combined with the intuitive nature that your team possesses, is hard to find these days. I would highly recommend your team to anyone who is considering selling their business.”
