New Interest Rates Might Deter Buyers

We have talked to many sellers in the past and provided notifications about opportunities. I want to alert you to a concern I see coming over the Business Horizon in the not-so-distant future: New interest rates might deter buyers.

As we have seen mortgage rates begin to climb it should be noted that rising interest rates for business loans along with inflation could put a damper on Buyer attitudes soon and put a lid on investment capital for some time.

We saw something similar unfold in 2008 and it was a couple of years before we got back to normal. I mention this to you as a first alert because if you have any plans on selling your business in the next couple of years, the best opportunity is now to take advantage of those Buyers looking to use less expensive capital and lower interest rates that are currently in the market. What we have noticed in the past is, once these interest rates go up, Buyers typically begin to sit on the sidelines waiting for rates to drop again.

I've been a business broker for over 21 years and have worked with and helped Sellers take advantage of changing market situations. That's one of the reasons we offer Free Market Range Estimates to help you see if this is the right time for you.
