Middle Market M&A: 2025 in Review, 2026 on the Horizon, and the Silent Majority That Powers It All
The middle market continues to be the heartbeat of U.S. dealmaking, but 2025 has been anything but predictable. Interest rates, policy uncertainty, tariffs, and shifting economic winds have all left their mark on transaction volume, valuations, and deal structures. Yet some sectors — including janitorial and facility services — have proven surprisingly resilient.
This session will open with an overview of the 2025 middle-market M&A landscape. From there, we’ll look into our (admittedly cloudy) 2026 crystal ball to consider what buyers and sellers should expect in the next wave of deal activity.
But the story of M&A isn’t complete without acknowledging the “silent majority”: the world of small businesses. In the second half of the session, we’ll shift to a panel discussion featuring parties directly involved in small-business deals — typically companies with fewer than 50 employees — to explore Buyer and Seller motivations, fears, and what they really expect from the sale process.
