TORONTO (PRWEB)

Firmex, a global provider of virtual data room and secure document sharing solutions, today announced the publication of its fifth annual report on M&A fees. M&A Fee Guide 2021-2022 is the authoritative source on M&A fees for sell-side engagements in the middle market. The fee guide serves as a reference point for both M&A advisors and business owners on the pricing of fees.

“We are pleased to publish the 2021-2022 edition of our annual fee guide, in partnership with Axial. Our goal in publishing this guide is to make the discussion of fees between M&A advisors and their clients more accessible by presenting the state of M&A advisory fees and how they are charged,” said Mark Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at Firmex. “This year’s report reflects the unique challenges of the past year, as well as the strength and resiliency of middle market M&A. We’re confident that reading the data and accompanying commentary will help advisors better serve their clients.”

Using data gathered from a survey of midmarket dealmakers, the guide highlights key points of interest on M&A fees, shared across geographies and deal sizes. The findings in M&A Fee Guide 2021-2022 are also presented with featured commentary from M&A experts at Axial, Divestopedia, and Carl Marks Advisors, sharing their views on how the data matches up with their professional experience.

Key Highlights

  • In response to COVID-19, only 8% of M&A practitioners reported adjusting their fee structure.

  • While the majority of advisors charge a fixed work fee, 14% of advisors do not charge one at all.

  • Three-quarters of M&A professionals say they add the most value for sellers by managing the sale process.

M&A advisors and business owners will learn useful insights on the expectations, negotiations, structuring, and associated practices surrounding M&A fees. By reading the guide, M&A advisors and their clients can have more transparent conversations on advisory fees and how they’re charged, to better align expectations for compensation on the deal.
