Deal Spectrum

Hey All,

Was curious to hear others perspective on how valuable lower-middle market (EBITDA <$10MM) deal experience is for M&A transactions? From what I know, the process is relatively the same, however, was not sure how complex the analysis is for middle market deals (non-private companies).

Is the analysis that different or is it all relatively the same? Do you think that lower-middle market M&A experience is transferable in the event an individual wanted to take another role at a shop that works on bigger deals?
