Democrats in the White House - Watch out Business Sellers

TheFederal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances estimates that business-related wealth transfers will total $4.63 trillion over the next 10 years in the United States. I was talking to a Tax Attorney the other day and discussing our upcoming Seminar - Exit Strategies for Baby Boomer Business Owners. He reminded me that we should stress that if the democrats end up in control of the White House that business sellers would potentially suffer a big increase in their capital gains resulting from the sale of their business and business owners should consider selling sooner rather than later.

That will be just one of the many issues we plan on covering at our free seminar in Oak Brook IL. on October 30, from 7-9 am.

Dear Dave:
I commend you for the informative event you are putting together.

While I am not as sanguin as Mr. Rob Slee, The Private Capital Markets' guru, in thinking that the "Baby Boomers" have missed the apex of the bell curve for upside valuations, you are totally correct that selling sooner than later is a wise move.

Private company owners must begin planning their exit now before the tsunami of sellers hits the market.

As your efforts go forward, if you need help in the financial or strategic buyer domain, you can count on me and Hamilton Wright.

Keep up the good work of spreading the news to the Baby Boomers who are throwing cash out the window by ignoring this private capital reality.

Anthony Lorizio
