According to the Daily Business Review, there are signs that deal activity, especially in the middle-market, will pick up in the second half of 2013. Pitchbook reports the middle-market expanded by the end of 2012 to 71.4 percent of total buy-out activity volume – its highest share in the last decade.
What is the outlook for the rest of 2013? Very good says the Daily Business Review. Financing is flowing again to the assets generating reasonably good cash flow. Company debt levels are historically low. It is reasonable to expect a spike in middle-market private equity activity – especially in popular sectors as business-to-business, consumer products, technology, financial services, and healthcare.
According to Pitchbook, the South was the most active region in 2012. Florida was ranked as the nations most innovative state, according to Fast Company magazine. This makes Florida well positioned to be an important part of this growing market, particularly in technology, financial services, and healthcare.
