Looking back, it was a very good year.
In 2016, 14 closed deals demonstrate the solid expertise of FOCUS both in the spectrum of sectors engaged as well as in the variety of strategic services successfully deployed.
In 2017, we anticipate a climate rich in M&A deal-making opportunities. According to Mergers & Acquisitions, “For companies considering options and opportunities, now might very well be the time to act.” We second that thought.
All the signs are favorable. At FOCUS, we believe there is renewed confidence in dealmaking in 2017, offering buyers and sellers expanding prospects for success!
