After a period of high interest rates, valuation pressure and wait-and-see sentiment, the SME takeover market recovered in 2025 with slight growth.

This is what the SME takeover market looks like

Buying and selling businesses is a lively market, except that it largely takes place behind the scenes. In fact, most sellers don't shout from the rooftops that their business is for sale because in many cases that disclosure leads to uncertainty and unrest among staff, customers and suppliers.
