This year’s survey concluded that Connecticut has a steady transaction market despite a softening national M&A market.  Connecticut business owner sentiment remains positive. However, only 37% of owners have contracted for a formal valuation and even less have created an exit plan (7%).  The majority of respondents agree that their respective CPA is their most trusted advisor when it comes to a transition.
