Market Street Capital Inc., a boutique capital markets and financial advisory firm, is offering succession planning and investment banking services to family-owned and founder-led businesses as a significant demographic shift approaches. 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. More than one million of these are viable candidates for sale, representing up to $5 trillion in enterprise value.
The firm advises established middle-market companies on succession planning, sell-side mergers and acquisitions, and capital structure decisions well before a transaction is on the table. Market Street Capital’s platform has advised on more than $3 billion in completed transactions, according to the company. This experience positions it to help owners navigate the complex process of transitioning their businesses, whether to family members, management, or external buyers.
The scale of the coming transitions presents both challenges and opportunities. Many family-owned industrial businesses built over decades face a critical question: who runs the company next, and whether that transition happens on the owner’s terms or by default. Without proper planning, owners risk leaving value on the table or seeing their businesses falter. Market Street Capital emphasizes that preparation starts with reliable numbers and informed guidance, drawing on its strategic planning and advisory practice as well as its investment banking platform.
For readers, this trend could have wide-ranging implications. As millions of businesses change hands, employees, suppliers, and local communities may be affected by new ownership and management. Investors and acquirers may find a vast pool of potential targets, while business owners gain access to specialized advice to maximize value and ensure continuity. The $5 trillion in enterprise value at stake underscores the economic significance of these transitions.
Market Street Capital provides these services through its advisory and investment banking platform. The firm’s work spans succession planning, sell-side M&A, and capital structure decisions, helping clients avoid default transitions and achieve their goals.
