KPMG Corporate Finance LLC's investment bankers have extensive Business Services transaction and industry experience, which enables them to understand the industry-specific issues and challenges facing our clients.

KPMG Corporate Finance LLC is the middle market investment banking arm of KPMG LLP. Our practice combines the focus of an elite boutique investment bank with the resources of a 200,000-person professional services firm.

In October 2024, six of our seasoned industry bankers attended the Association for Corporate Growth’s M&A East event in Philadelphia, PA to engage with middle-market private equity firms to discuss market conditions, share investment strategies and forge new connections.

Leveraging the benefit of a captive audience of active deal makers we surveyed 126 sponsors with a business services focus to better understand i.) the expected factors having most impacted sponsor exits over the past year, ii.) expectations for future platform exit activity, iii.) and the primary drivers of deal flow over the coming months and quarters.

We are pleased to share the results of our informal survey.

KPMG Corporate Finance LLC is committed to providing the insights and guidance necessary to navigate the current market effectively. Feel free to reach out to discuss these insights further.
