A panel of experts tasked with assessing the year ahead for Scottish businesses has given a positive outlook for deal-making, although several were critical of government interventions in the market.
Nevis Capital founder Brian Aitken claimed that there will be a “tsunami of deals” in 2022 - so long as there are no new restrictions imposed on businesses - as the pandemic has given many owners a new perspective and led to “pent-up demand” for mergers and acquisitions.
He explained that “there is plenty of money out there”, particularly from private equity firms and the banks.
