Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1501 - Lots of Money, Too Few Great Targets with Mark Borkowski

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Mark Borkowski. Mark is the President of Mercantile Mergers & Acquisitions Corp. and a veteran sell-side advisor with over 400 transactions since 1987. In 2026, record dry powder meets too few quality targets as private equity and strategics remain cash-rich but selective. Mark explores active roll-up sectors such as dental, veterinary, HVAC, and plumbing, and how private credit reshapes bids. He reveals value drivers like clean financials and normalized EBITDA, common deal killers, succession pitfalls, valuation bridges, and hidden opportunities in receivership and power-of-sale real estate.
