In the fluctuating economy of modern America, it often seems that businessmen are unwilling to take any risks in order to grow. For the past decade, the modus operandi of high-powered executives has been to keep their cards close to their chest, preserving the wealth that they already have. The idea of purchasing another business to add to the fold was a daunting one for business executives in recent years. However, International Acquisition Group has observed a change in that trend since the beginning of the new decade. As 2011 began, International Acquisition Group saw that buying trends were beginning to increase and that the supply of businesses for sale was slowly declining as investors began to take risks again. International Acquisition Group was thrilled by this and has been optimistic about the gradual increase in sales since that time.

In International Acquisition Group's observation, the majority of businesses that changed hands were classified as small businesses. While the growth in 2011 was not a massive amount, totaling only a 3.3 percent increase, it showed a trend of exponential growth when compared to the previous years. According to Jason Hullender, owner of International Acquisition Group, this is a huge turnaround. “Back in 2009,” Jason Hullender said, “we saw a massive decrease in the amount of businesses being bought and sold. During that year, there was a 28 percent decrease in the number of businesses sold. To have things turn around to a 3 or 4 percent increase shows that the trend is reversing.” International Acquisition Group's owner is thrilled at the prospect of a growing market and is busily preparing International Acquisition Group to handle the influx of clients that will come as a result of the increase.

There has also been a growth in the median sale price of businesses. For some time, prices had to be artificially lowered in order to attract buyers. However, International Acquisition Group has seen a 7 percent jump in the prices of its selling clients in 2011. International Acquisition Group is thrilled with the growth and hopes to continue helping its clients get what their business is really worth.
