The trend toward independently owned and operated businesses is skyrocketing. Small business is growing as the baby boomers come of age, corporations continue downsizing and franchising continues to grow. In fact, a recent study by the Alliance of Merger and Acquisition Advisors found that many advisers believe that seven out of ten midsized businesses will transfer ownership in the next decade, and that at least 90% are now ill-prepared for that transition. Whether you’re selling or buying a business, your success starts with Golden Gate Business Advisors .
