Primary Insight

What Stands Out

  • Platform expansion appears repeatedly, including integrated architecture/design offerings and national service reach (e.g., United Design Partners adding NELSON Worldwide; Peak Business Valuation strengthening SBA-related valuation coverage).
  • Advisory and consulting are frequent targets, including non-attest advisory services (Meaden & Moore Advisors), work management/PMO consulting (Echolocity), and airport technology/capital program advisory (Barich, Inc.).
  • Geographic clustering is visible across the U.S., with recurring activity in states such as Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, plus international transactions in London (UK) and Paris (France).
  • Specialized professional services remain a focus: senior move management and downsizing services (Caring Transitions), furnished sports housing (Top Performance Housing), and healthcare/senior living design (Erdman).
