Tap into the growing trend: Younger entrepreneurs are in the game

“There are no buyers for my business”

We disagree.

Our buyer inquiries are up 15% and continue to climb.

According to a recent study from Forrester Research, roughly 64% of small business buyers are born after 1980. Now, add in current business owners looking to grow, high net-worth individuals, and strategic buyers. Over 25,000 of these individuals receive our biweekly listing updates. The next time you think there’s no opportunity, look back at these stats.

There are buyers for your business. Here’s why:

  • Buying an existing and well-established business saves both time and money compared to starting one from scratch.
  • Marketing and awareness-raising tactics like social media and podcasts have transformed business. These low cost, or even free opportunities save owners thousands of dollars in attempts to increase revenue.
  • Financial freedom and working for yourself is an ever-growing topic preached by influencers, business coaches, and social media.

If you’re thinking about exiting and curious about how well your financials are positioned, we can help you.
