Is now a good time for M&A?

If you’ve got money in the bank, a debt facility, raised a round of venture capital, or are public and have ‘paper’ to play with, tell us whether you think now is a good time to pursue an M&A strategy. The reality is that in the current economic climate there will be something of a fire sale leaving you with the chance to consolidate in your market. Now could be a great time for attempting turnarounds on once-valuable assets if you’ve got the nerve. Or would it be foolhardy to take on another level of uncertainty given the acquisition failure rate? Tell us here.
