FROM THE EXPERTS AT FOCUS
Recent Industry Reports
In the first quarter of 2025, mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity showed a mixed picture. Food and beverage dealmaking slipped in Q1 compared to the previous quarter, down 11% with a total of 93 deals announced or closed. Industry activity mirrored the broader M&A market, which has experienced a cautious start due to a mix of economic, policy, and market factors.
The first quarter of 2025 brought continued momentum to the M&A market, with steady deal flow and strong buyer interest across a range of subsectors. For owners of small to medium-sized businesses, particularly those offering outsourced B2B services—from staffing and facility management to consulting and IT support—this is an opportune time to evaluate strategic options.
The FOCUS Communications Service Provider Index (CSPI) rebounded nicely in the first three months of 2025, shooting up 11.3% for the period. This was particularly impressive given that the broader indices were both in negative territory over the corresponding time frame. The CSPI also outperformed the broader indices over the 12-month period.

Success Stories From Our Clients
“The FOCUS team expertly coordinated a process that generated significant interest in my company from the market. The ultimate result of that process yielded a positive outcome for me personally and professionally as well as for the employees of HL Precision Manufacturing and its enduring future in an increasingly consolidating industry. Our deal combined elements of a merger, sale, and acquisition all resulting in the formation of a new parent company, H3 Manufacturing Group, LLC which now owns both HL Precision as well as Hi-Grade Welding & Mfg. The work done by the FOCUS team was disciplined, very well documented, and portrayed HL Precision in an accurate and attractive manner. I would very much recommend FOCUS to other business owners and CEO’s looking to take their company to market and/or seek strategic partners for their road ahead.”
