You guys all do see the Patagonia vest here, right?
7 stats proving that The Silver Tsunami will hit the entire economy:
- By 2035, ~6 million SMBs will face ownership transitions
- Up to $5 trillion in enterprise value is at stake
- 92% of SMB exits happen through closure
- Only 5% are completed as sales
- 3% are transferred to new owners
- Nearly 80% of projected exits are businesses valued under $2M - too small for private equity, too large for most individual investors
- Small businesses account for 99% of all US companies and employ nearly half the nation's workforce
