Info: The Silver Tsunami is coming. By 2030, Baby Boomers will be nearing the age of retirement and need someone to take over their legacy business. Nearly 1 in 3 businesses in America anticipate a change in ownership within the next 5 years, and many are struggling to find younger generations to take it over. What does that mean for you? You have the opportunity to buy a business with systems already in place, customers already in the door, and salaries already established. Learn from Elliott Holland and Brett Holcomb how to complete your first small business acquisition.
