Market Street Capital Inc., a boutique capital markets and financial advisory firm, is positioning itself to assist family-owned and founder-led businesses with succession planning as a significant generational transfer of ownership looms. According to the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility, approximately six million small and midsize businesses will face ownership transitions by 2035 as baby boomer owners retire. This wave represents more than one million viable candidates for sale and up to $5 trillion in enterprise value.
The firm advises clients on succession planning, sell-side mergers and acquisitions, and capital structure decisions well before any transaction is considered. Market Street Capital has advised on more than $3 billion in completed transactions through its strategic planning and advisory practice and investment banking platform.
For family-owned industrial businesses built over decades, the question of who will run the company next is becoming increasingly urgent. Market Street Capital works with established middle-market businesses to ensure that transitions happen on the owner’s terms rather than by default. The firm’s approach emphasizes reliable numbers and informed guidance as the foundation for effective preparation.
The implications for business owners, the M&A market, and the broader economy are substantial. With so many businesses poised to change hands, the demand for specialized advisory services is likely to grow. Business owners who plan ahead can preserve their legacies, protect employees, and maximize value. For the advisory industry, this represents a significant opportunity to serve a massive client base.
Market Street Capital’s platform combines strategic planning with investment banking capabilities, offering a comprehensive suite of services. The firm’s experience with middle-market companies positions it to address the unique challenges of family-owned businesses, where personal and financial considerations often intertwine.
