THE STATE OF OWNER
READINESS™ RESEARCH
The viral research study that measures business attractiveness
and owner readiness on a local, regional, and national scale
to better serve transitioning business owners.
What is the State of Owner Readiness™?
Recent studies show that 66% of the current American business market is owned by Baby Boomers, who are set to transition over the next zero to ten years. Statistics also show that only 20 to 30% of businesses that go to market actually sell; leaving up to 80% of those without solid options to harvest their wealth and ensure economic continuity into the next generation. An owner who is “ready” with an attractive business greatly increases the odds that the business will survive a transition of hands. The question is, how ready are business owners?
