We’re proud to announce that Business Exits has been ranked the #1 Lower Middle Market Business Broker by Axial for the fourth consecutive year — earning the top spot in 2023, 2024, 2025, and again in Axial’s first-half 2026 league table.
Axial is the leading platform connecting buyers and sellers in the lower middle market, and its ranking methodology evaluates firms based on deal attractiveness, buyside targeting effectiveness, M&A process efficiency, and deal outcomes. Holding the #1 position once is an honor. Holding it four years in a row reflects something deeper: a consistent, repeatable process that delivers exceptional results for our clients, year after year and across market cycles.
Over the past four years, Business Exits has closed transactions across a wide range of industries — from home services and construction to healthcare, e-commerce, and professional services — demonstrating our versatility and expertise in the lower middle market. Our approach is rooted in understanding the unique needs of each client, ensuring tailored strategies that maximize value and facilitate smooth transitions.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients, partners, and team members who have made this streak possible. Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in our success.
