Insights from our interactions this month
2022 has been a difficult year for business owners, we have come out of a global pandemic (or have we?), the war in Ukraine has hit energy and food ?supply chains and prices hard and then add to that the domestic political turmoil and the uncertainty?that has created. Despite all that the general mood is surprisingly upbeat amongst all the business owners I meet and there are still?buyers seeking businesses. So there is positivity out there, therefore owners looking to sell their businesses should continue to make preparations.
?Tip of the month
All businesses are facing strong inflationary pressures, which lead to rising costs, which in turn?can drive down profit.

????* Demonstrates growth and has a good level of recurring sales
