The Wall Street Journal called today and asked some interesting questions:

How do you see volume of M&A activity for the first 6 months in 2011 vs the first 6 months in 2010?
Of the businesses being sold, are you seeing any increase in the percentage of seller financing?
Do you think the percentages of seller financing are being driven by more stringent lending guidelines?

We provided some insights to the Wall Street Journal from the PeerComps database . . . hopefully to be printed this Thursday. Until that time--would you share your thoughts?

Activity for first half of this year is up significantly versus same period last year.

There is definitely more seller financing involved, due in part I think to the tighter regulations at bank.
