Pratt's Stats now lists close to 25,000 private-company M&A transactions—thanks to business brokers and other intermediaries who contribute the data. Individuals who send in the most transactions are inducted into the Pratt’s Stats Hall of Fame. For the first quarter of 2016, they are:
- Bill Gibson, William E. Gibson & Associates Inc. (Pensacola, Fla.); and
- Tim Bellon, Southshore Advisory Partners LLC (Apollo Beach, Fla.).
Thanks Bill and Tim for helping BVR build Pratt’s Stats into the most reliable data source of its kind. We’d also like to point out that the database now includes secondary and tertiary SIC and NAICS codes, new dedicated purchase price allocation fields, and new search fields including sale region, whether a company was a franchise, and whether the purchase included real estate.
