Tech-enabled service businesses, including those that use the Software-as-a-Service, approach provide “a very sticky customer base,” says Crutchfield Capital’s J.B. Dollison, who serves as chair of the ACG Global board, in this video shot at ACG InterGrowth 2018. “Those fundamentals are very attractive in the market, and some of those businesses are selling for Titanic multiples.”

If a business has weathered the storm through the Great Recession and is now doing well.

There could probably not be no better time to sell so valuations are really on the upswing and I think that any private Equity Group that is out trying to buy Acquisitions is lamenting about the high valuation metrics.
