Household Changes and Main Street M&A Trends
Household dynamics are accelerating the “Silver Tsunami” in Main Street M&A: millions of Baby Boomer-owned service businesses are nearing transition, and many lack a clear successor—pushing more quality companies into the open market. At the same time, aging consumers, multi-generational living, and shifting family structures are increasing demand in home services, healthcare, and convenience-driven businesses, creating premium opportunities for buyers who can modernize “digitally stagnant” operators. For sellers, the fastest path to a higher valuation is proving scalability—recurring revenue, clean operations/SOPs, and a digital engine that aligns with these demographic tailwinds.
