Reasons for Selling a Business

Retirement

The most common reason for selling a business is because the owner is retiring.

• 63% of privately-owned businesses are owned by baby boomers, and more than 50% of those baby boomers are 64 years and older.
• 80-90% of their wealth is tied up in their business

The Exit Planning Institute (EPI) surveys confirm that 76% of business owners that are baby boomers plan to sell their business in the next 10 years, and 48% in the next 5 years. This is often referred to as the 10 trillion-dollar opportunity or the seller tsunami.

Relocation

Most business owners that move out of state will end up selling their business.

Burnt Out or Bored

This happens often; after running a business for 10 or 20 years, you can start to get tired or bored.

Health

Sometimes health concerns require you to sell a business.
