And according to award-winning business broker and veteran Douglas R. Batts, MBA, time is of the essence. As the Baby Boomer generation approaches retirement age, Batts emphasizes the importance of proactive exit planning for business owners. He highlights that many entrepreneurs underestimate the complexities involved in transitioning their businesses, often delaying the necessary preparations until it is too late.
Batts urges business owners to start evaluating their exit strategies now, considering various factors such as market conditions, business valuation, and potential successors.

With the economic landscape continually evolving, Batts believes that early planning can provide significant advantages, including better financial outcomes and peace of mind. He encourages Baby Boomers to seek professional advice and take actionable steps toward securing their legacy and financial future.
