Business Succession is a big issue for small business
Surveys indicate that 40% of SMEs will face a succession event over the next 5 years. For many it is the baby boomer generation of business owners who are looking to exit their business. This represents a large group of small business owners who, in the main, will retire over a 5-10 year period. But it’s not all about retirement. Increasingly business owner are buying or building businesses with a clear exit date in mind. Their strategy is to grow the business, sell it and move on to the next venture.
From these two groups, what is evident is that there will be a significant number of businesses that will come on to the market in the coming years or that will be managing some form of succession. Apart from business sales it could be a merger, generational succession, management buyout or even a listing. On the sheer numbers alone we are talking about over 400,000 businesses.
