Understanding the Market Opportunity
Every day, 4,500 baby boomers reach age 65, and more than 50% own businesses. This demographic shift presents a unique opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to acquire these main street businesses. Recognizing that turning a business is far more lucrative than flipping houses can be your first step toward success.
The Financial Advantage of Business Acquisitions
The typical main street business sells for a multiple of 2-4 times its earnings. However, if you strategically acquire two or more businesses, aiming for a mid-market level with over $15 million in gross revenue, you can dramatically increase your earnings potential. At this level, sales multiples often reach 6-7 times earnings, providing a robust financial foundation for your growing empire.
