An estimated six million small and midsize family-owned businesses will undergo ownership transitions by 2035 as baby boomer owners retire, according to the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility. This wave of transitions represents more than one million viable sale candidates and up to $5 trillion in enterprise value. Market Street Capital Inc., a boutique capital markets and financial advisory firm, is positioning itself to guide business owners through these complex succession decisions.
The scale of this demographic shift is unprecedented. Many family-owned industrial businesses built over decades now face a critical question: who will run the company next, and will that transition occur on the owner's terms or by default? Without proper planning, these businesses risk undervaluation, forced sales, or closure, which could have ripple effects on local economies and industries. Market Street Capital works with founder-led and family-owned companies on succession planning, sell-side M&A, and capital structure decisions well before a transaction is on the table. The firm's platform has advised on more than $3 billion in completed transactions.
Preparation for succession starts with reliable numbers and informed guidance. Market Street Capital provides this through its strategic planning and advisory practice and investment banking platform. By engaging early, owners can align personal financial goals with business realities, ensure operational continuity, and maximize value. The firm's expertise is particularly relevant for middle-market businesses, which often lack the internal resources to manage complex transitions.
The implications extend beyond individual businesses. As trillions of dollars in enterprise value change hands, the broader economy will feel the impact. Successful transitions can preserve jobs, sustain innovation, and maintain community stability. Conversely, failed transitions can lead to lost wealth and economic disruption. Market Street Capital's approach emphasizes proactive planning, helping owners avoid default outcomes.
