The Spike in Boomer Business Owners Retiring Opens Huge Opportunities For Business Buyers
Hello Freinds!
We’re Announcing The Once In A Lifetime M&A Market with the team at Acquisition Aficionado.
This infographic explains why the 2020s will be the best time in recorded history to acquire companies:
The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to business owners’ burnout.
More baby boomer businesses need to change hands than there are buyers, with the peak of retiring boomers projected to happen between 2020 and 2040.
An average of 303,000 businesses are closing down or hitting the market every year this decade, and most of what’s listed will never sell.
Private equity firms have 3.4 trillion U.S. dollars in global dry powder (idle money).
Lastly, the looming economic downturn is starting soon or already started, based on your perspective, will lower business multiples and increase the number of motivated business sellers.
Whether or not you’ve acquired a company already, you’ll regret not taking action this decade.

Financial Architecting Tip Of The Week
The ASE Fleet's Financial Architecting Tool #9
R&D Tax Credit
"What does R&D tax credit mean?
The R&D credit means that organizations that invest in qualified research and development activities to incentivize innovation and growth (as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 41) may be eligible for a general business tax credit.
How far back can you claim R&D tax credits?
Businesses can claim the R&D credit retroactively by filing amended returns for any open tax years, which in most cases, is three years. The time frame may be longer, however, if the organization endured losses during that period."
