The small business M&A landscape in Q2 2026
The U.S. small business and lower middle market M&A landscape in Q2 2026 is defined by a "flight to quality" as transaction volumes moderated while valuation multiples remained resilient. Buyers and lenders have shifted toward extreme selectivity, prioritizing earnings durability and margin stability over top-line growth due to persistent operating cost pressures. While overall deal volume saw a 10% contraction, the successful closing rate for high-quality assets reached historic highs, signaling a market that rewards well-prepared sellers even as financing remains relatively expensive.

Why we give all of this away for free.
We built these tools because we got tired of seeing business owners and buyers make expensive decisions based on bad information. Every calculator, assessment, and guide here uses the same methodology we use with our paid clients. We do not water it down.
We give it away because we are confident that if the tools help you, you will think of Vasana when you are ready for a confidential conversation. And if they do not, you will still leave knowing more than you did before. Either way, you win.
