Business brokers and other intermediaries submit deal information to Pratt’s Stats, which lists over 23,000 private-company merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in its database. Intermediaries who contribute the most transactions are inducted into the Pratt’s Stats Hall of Fame. For the first quarter of 2015, they are:

• William Gibson, William E. Gibson & Associates (Pensacola, Fla.);

• Leon Parker, New Hampshire Business Sales (Pembroke, N.H.); and

• Scott Perry, Gateway Mergers and Acquisitions (Carrollton, Texas).

Sincere thanks to these and all of the individuals who have helped BVR build Pratt’s Stats into the important data source that it is today.
