But just as importantly, our expert team helps us to maximize the value our clients receive from selling their businesses. The U.S. economy has rapidly transitioned toward a service-based economy. This evolution is the hallmark of any mature economy, and the service industry will play an important role in U.S. economic growth for the foreseeable future.

Target clients in the industry are normally other businesses and corporations.

The industry is also experiencing a rapid rate of technological innovation and change. Adapting to evolving technology and consumer behavior is the key to success.

An industrial and business service is considered to be any company that provides B2B products or services across a vast array of industries. Currently, this is a particularly strong area of interest with private equity parties across North America because services businesses are typically quite resilient.
