The private M&A market continues to be very active with succession being one of the key drivers. High valuations are supported by solid economic growth, ready access to low cost capital and strong demand from both financial and strategic buyers. 2017 was another very active year for Peter Day & Associates. Notable transactions completed in 2017 were as follows:
