Tapping into the $10 Trillion Market: Why Small Businesses Owned by Baby Boomers Are Key to the Future

In the next 15 years, over $10 trillion worth of small businesses in the U.S. will be up for sale. That’s right—$10 trillion. But here’s the kicker: over 70% of these businesses, many owned by baby boomers, don’t have a succession plan in place. These small businesses, built by dedicated and hard-working owners, are at risk of fading away, taking with them decades of legacy, local economic impact, and loyal customer bases.

Baby boomers have played a pivotal role in shaping the small business landscape in America. For decades, their businesses have been the backbone of local economies, offering products and services that communities rely on. However, as these owners approach retirement, they face significant challenges. Despite their resilience and ability to build strong customer loyalty, many of these businesses struggle to adapt to modern demands. The fast-paced world of digital transformation, the need for scalable operations, and the pressure to compete with larger, tech-savvy corporations have left many small businesses owned by baby boomers at a crossroads. Owners often find themselves so entrenched in the day-to-day operations that they lack the time or resources to step back and create a clear path for the future.
