According to KPMG's M&A Outlook for Private Equity in 2024, PE firms are looking at distressed assets for a turnaround opportunity. Here is what it means for business owners: The current high-interest rate environment is creating distress in many businesses. Distressed business will naturally be available at discounted prices, providing a golden chance for PE firms to acquire and rejuvenate these businesses. Why Distressed Assets are Attractive: ➡️ Discounted Prices: High interest rates force many businesses into distress, leading to lower valuations. ➡️ Turnaround Potential: With strategic management, distressed businesses can achieve significant value enhancement. ➡️ Higher Multiples: Successfully turned around businesses often fetch higher exit multiples, providing lucrative returns. If you are a business owner looking to sell your business, here are a few key points to consider: ➡️ Know Your Worth: Understand the intrinsic value of your business beyond the current distress. ➡️ Highlight Potential: Emphasize the long-term growth prospects and strategic advantages. ➡️ Negotiate Smartly: Engage with multiple buyers and be transparent about your financials to negotiate a better deal. Investing in distressed assets is not just about capitalizing on lower prices; it's about seeing the potential for transformation and growth. If you're a business owner, leverage this environment to position your business attractively for turnaround investors. #entrepreneurship #startups #venturecapital #businessgrowth #startupsuccess Image Source: KPMG Serial Entrepreneur & Investor Helping Startups Become Unstoppable – David Hauser

We recently advised NSI Industries, LLC, a portfolio company of Odyssey Investment Partners, LLC, on their sale to Sentinel Capital Partners. NSI is a leading provider of branded electrical and HVAC products. The company was highly attractive to investors given several secular tailwinds in the North American electrical and HVAC components market, including increasing electrification, infrastructure buildout, and expanding regulatory requirements. Sentinel has extensive experience in the industrials space, and they will be an excellent partner to NSI as the company enters its next phase of growth. We look forward to following their continued success. https://lnkd.in/eDk5pk2z #mergersandacquisitions
