Most People Have No Idea What’s Coming in 2026. There is a wealth event approaching that will create more new business owners than anything we have seen in our lifetime. And the crazy part is this. Most people are going to miss it because they are distracted, comfortable, or asleep at the wheel. It’s called the Silver Tsunami. Millions of Baby Boomers are retiring. Right now. Not “one day”, it's right now. And they are walking away from the businesses they spent twenty to forty years building. Here is the part no one is talking about. Their kids don’t want the business.

They seller finance or get a SBA for the other $900,000. You now own a company that cash flows $15,000 - $35,000 a month. That is the part people do not understand.

Or you can hire an operator, take a smaller cut, and still bring in more than most people’s full-time jobs. We have not had a buying window like this since the 1980s. And when it closes, people will look back and say
