Unlocking Opportunities in the
Lower-Middle and Mid-Market Segments
Elevating Business Representation
VR Mergers & Acquisitions grew from the demand placed on VR Business Brokers, which was founded in 1979, to expand its Valued Representation model from small business to the lower-middle and mid-market. As a VR intermediary and office owner you will have the option to take advanced training to gain the necessary skills to represent clients with businesses of higher value.
Where is the Lower Middle and/or Mid-Market?
VR considers the mid-market to be businesses which have grown beyond single manager entities to significant regional or even national stature. Usually this implies value between $5 million and $35 million for our purposes. Most of the lower-middle and mid-market is made up of businesses built around a single product area and its natural extensions.
VR Mergers & Acquisitions increases financial opportunity to the trained business intermediary and the VR office. Why we look for the right people to join VR and help us advance in this market?
- There is more money devoted to buying lower-middle and mid-market enterprises than ever before in history.
- Privately held business owners with planned exit strategies are the primary benefactor of the current M&A activity.
- There are more qualified buyers for well-run lower-middle and mid-market companies than there are such businesses available for acquiring.
- Industry, financial, and market conditions are causing a surge in lower-middle and mid-market acquisitions. Last year the average earnings multiple sold in this segment was 8.5X.
- A variety of acquirers have entered the lower-middle and mid-market arena.
