In the second quarter of 2025, small business sales experienced a 4% decline compared to the previous year, primarily influenced by new tariffs and modifications to Small Business Administration (SBA) loan requirements. Sellers are grappling with rising costs and inflation, prompting many to increase prices, which has made some consumers more cautious. The median sale price of businesses has seen a 6% decrease, leading buyers to favor smaller, lower-risk investments. Recent changes in SBA rules have further complicated the financing landscape, creating mismatches in expectations between buyers and sellers. Despite these hurdles, sectors such as healthcare and logistics continue to attract interest, while the buyer demographic is shifting, with more professionals transitioning from corporate roles to entrepreneurship. Maintaining flexibility and a realistic approach to valuations will be crucial for sellers navigating this evolving market.
