The continuing retirement of the Baby Boomer generation is set to significantly impact the business landscape, particularly concerning Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA).  As Baby Boomers – individuals born between 1946 and 1964 – reach retirement age, a substantial number of the small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) they own are becoming available for acquisition.

Key Statistics:

• Business Ownership: Baby Boomers own approximately 2.3 million small businesses in the United States, accounting for a significant portion of the nation’s SMEs.
• Retirement Wave: An estimated 10,000+ Baby Boomers will retire daily in 2025 and the years following. That retirement trend is expected to continue, leading to a steady number of businesses of all types for sale.
• Economic Impact: The anticipated sale or closure of these businesses could affect up to 1 in 6 employees nationwide, underscoring the importance of successful ownership transitions.
• Transfer to 2nd Generation: Only about a third of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) transfer to the 2nd generation. Most SMEs are either sold or closed down. There are many opportunities out there to find and buy an existing successful SME. Let Trust Financing Solutions work with you to find and finance your business acquisition.
