The Silver Tsunami: Will the Greatest Wealth Transfer Become the Greatest Missed Opportunity?
Baby Boomer owners control millions of companies and trillions of dollars in wealth. Everyone has been talking about the “Silver Tsunami” and the Great Wealth Transfer. By 2048, an estimated $124 trillion is expected to pass into new hands. The future of American business is about to change.
Yet the expected flood of business sales has not arrived.
Many owners are holding on longer than planned. Emotional ties. Unclear succession plans. Fear of taxes and uncertainty. Meanwhile, investors are pursuing the most attractive companies first, leaving others at risk of simply… disappearing.
This disconnect creates a clear question:
Who will step up to preserve these businesses, jobs, and legacies?
In this week’s episode of Deep Dive – Business Sale, we explore:
• Why small business transitions are stalling, even as owners age
• The risks to communities and employees if succession continues to be delayed
• The growing opportunity for capital-backed operators and strategic buyers
• What owners can do now to protect their wealth and control their exit
If you are a business owner thinking about your future or an investor searching for long-term value, this conversation will help you see the landscape with sharper clarity.
🎧 Subscribe and listen as we uncover the real stories behind generational transitions and business sales.
Your legacy deserves a plan. Your capital deserves a strategy. Let’s get prepared.
