THE OWNERSHIP TRANSITION WINDOW
A generational shift is underway.​
-
80% of business owners are over 55
-
150,000+ small businesses transition annually
-
Only 20–30% transfer successfully to family
​​​​
Without local buyers, institutional capital consolidates.

IT MATTERS

BUSINESS OWNERS THINK THERE IS ONLY 1 OPTION:

Strip it for parts
-
Centralize control
-
Harvest and exit
70% OF BUSINESSES WILL CLOSE OR CONSOLIDATE

Vendor spend leaves the region
-
Decision-making centralizes

Wealth Leaves

Control Leaves
