The market and small business in the post baby boomer era.

America’s small business engine is up for grabs. And a new class of buyers is circling.

Let us not sugarcoat it—the Baby Boomer exit is underway. Quietly, but rapidly.
Some call it the Silver Tsunami. We call it the greatest transfer of small business ownership in American history.

Over 12 million privately held businesses—generating trillions in revenue—are heading toward an ownership cliff.
Not all will make the leap.

Some will fade, others will sell for pennies. But the most strategic? They'll be snapped up by a new breed of buyer—serial acquirers, ambitious insiders, and decentralized groups building the next wave of mini-conglomerates.

This isn’t just succession planning. It’s a once-in-a-generation realignment of power, profit, and opportunity across the backbone of the U.S. economy.
