Over the past year, Congress has passed both tax reform and regulatory relief—signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2017 and May 2018, respectively. And the Trump administration has appointed regulators who appear to be more favorable to the industry, including former bankers Joseph Otting, to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Jelena McWilliams, to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The survey examines industry attitudes about issues impacting M&A and growth, along with expected acquisition plans and expectations for the U.S. economy through 2019. It was conducted in September and October 2018.

I help Cleveland-area business owners do two things: buy businesses worth buying, and sell businesses at prices worth celebrating. I've been working in business brokerage and M&A with Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro long enough to know that this work is about more than transactions. Selling a business you've spent 20 years building is one of the most significant events of your professional life. Buying your first business is one of the most nerve-wracking. Both deserve someone in your corner who's been through it hundreds of times. I started this blog — Community Broker News and Views — because I got tired of watching business owners get surprised by things they didn't know they didn't know. The content here is original, it's practical, and it's built for Cleveland-area owners and buyers who want straight talk without the corporate fluff. **What I Do:** - Business valuations (complimentary, no-obligation) - Seller representation: valuation, preparation, listing, and closing - Buyer representation: search, evaluation, financing, and closing - Exit planning: helping owners prepare 1–3 years before they want to sell *Vince Liuzzi | Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro* *Serving Cleveland, Akron, and Northeast Ohio*
