12 Million baby boomer businesses transitioning (The "Silver Tsunami")
$27.5B in SBA loans approved in 2024 alone

Service businesses are your top choice (45% preference) - especially essential services with recurring revenue
Proven cash flow businesses with $750K+ EBITDA and 3+ years of positive performance
Construction, engineering, and essential services in the $5M-$50M enterprise value range
Technology-enabled operations with automation potential and digital transformation opportunities
You Expect Modern, Digital-First Processes:

Limited personal capital for traditional 20-25% down payments
Non-traditional employment history from the gig economy
Higher SBA default rates (3.69% in 2024) making lenders cautious
