We hear it all the time: “I’ll wait to see what happens in the next election before I make any big moves with my business.”
But here’s the truth: political changes take time, and waiting could mean missing out on current opportunities. And by the time those changes filter down to small business owners, months—if not years—will have passed.
Start planning your exit now to stay ahead.
Why Waiting Could Cost You
1. The Market is Hot
Despite political uncertainty, the market for small businesses is thriving. Acquisitions are up, and buyers are seeking stable, recession-resistant businesses like yours. Waiting for the “perfect” moment might mean missing out on prime opportunities.
2. Elections Won’t Change Things Overnight
While elections bring change, they don’t instantly transform the business landscape. Legislative shifts and new policies take time to implement. Focus on what you can control: your business’s performance and exit strategy.
3. Start Planning Today
Whether you’re 1, 3, or 5 years from exiting, starting the conversation now is crucial. Preparing your business for maximum value now only increases your chances of successfully exiting your business. Early planning gives you flexibility and peace of mind.
Why Timing Matters
Buyers are active, interest rates are stabilizing, and solid businesses are in demand. Delaying could leave you unprepared for market shifts or economic downturns. A solid exit plan offers security—no matter what the future holds.
