In the period of General isolation, the number of ads on the sale of businesses in catering has fallen. But the prices of these companies fell by only 3.7 percent.

Decreased the average price of industrial and construction business. At the same time increased the number of ads about the sale at a price below the real value of assets. Sale of companies in the agricultural sector perked up in the Central district, the most affected by the pandemic, and in parallel increased the demand for them – businesses are actively looking for new niches. Given the constraints due Covid-19 entrepreneurs expect a rise in prices on food and try to get in a food market. Until the end of the year we can expect growth market businesses in connection with the desire of many employers to change the scope of activities.
Roman Kubanev, SEO management (Voronezh):
– In our industry, among drugstore chains, spike no, everything froze. No one sells their predpr��ment, all deployed strategic reserves of money and hope for change for the better.
We are monitoring the situation with non-residential premises suitable for a pharmacy. I also don’t see any “release” of the objects in the sale, saying, give up for any money. But in the short term, I’m sure that will start the change of ownership of the business. Pandemic just added fuel to the fire, spurring the processes of consolidation and centralization that came before. The market is going to consolidate the business, weaker companies join strong.
Inna Anisimova, CEO of communications Agency PR Partner (Moscow):
– last year I invested in a capsule hotel, diversified investments. Coronavirus has reduced the income to zero, but to sell a share he does not plan.
