A Shift Too Big to Ignore
There’s a $10 trillion economic shift happening right now—and it’s creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for franchisees who want to lead, advise, and make an impact. With baby boomers retiring and small business succession plans missing in action, Exit Factor franchisees are stepping in to help guide the transition—and build thriving consulting businesses in the process.
What’s Fueling the $10 Trillion Shift?
Key drivers of this unprecedented transition include the fact that over 4.5 million small businesses are currently owned by baby boomers. Most of these businesses lack structured exit plans or succession strategies, leaving a significant gap in the market. Business owners increasingly seek guidance, but often don’t know where to start. Experts project that an estimated $10 trillion in business value will change hands in the next 10 years. This isn’t just a demographic trend—it’s a business mandate. Exit Factor franchisees offer the structure and insight business owners need to sell, transition, or prepare their company for future success.
Why This Moment Matters for Franchisees
This market shift benefits Exit Factor franchisees in several ways. It offers recurring revenue from long-term advisory relationships, ensuring a steady and predictable income stream. It also enables franchisees to work with serious business owners at key inflection points in their journey. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, the Exit Factor model requires no physical storefront, inventory, or real estate. Moreover, it’s a recession-resistant opportunity, as business owners need exit strategies in all economies.

Why Exit Factor Stands Out
Exit Factor provides more than just a brand—it delivers a proven system. As a franchisee, you receive proprietary methodology and tools to guide clients effectively through the exit process. The business model is based on coaching rather than cold selling, making it easier to build trust and long-term relationships. Franchisees also benefit from the backing of Our Family of Franchise Brands and access to Testimonials and client success stories that validate the model’s success. Franchisees join a peer network of consultants, strategists, and professionals who want to create meaningful business outcomes in their communities.
