It might not be as far into the future as you thought.
We interviewed Jim Afinowich, our Principal from Phoenix, Arizona to get his outlook on M&A in the US.

* First, the economy is bouncing back more quickly than you think.
* Second, tax hikes under the Biden Administration could offset whatever gains you hope to achieve by delaying your sale.
