Here's a number worth sitting with. Only 8% of business owners say their succession planning is far along.

That's from a JPMorgan Chase survey of 1,000 owners in September 2026. 70% said they've started. Very few are close to ready, even as roughly 12 million businesses are expected to change hands over the next decade.

Getting ready doesn't start with deciding to sell. It starts with knowing what your business is worth today and what would make it worth more.

If you own a business, where are you right now? Still thinking about it, or already working on it?

Fewer small businesses sold this past quarter. The ones that did sold for more.

BizBuySell's Q3 2026 report shows a clear split. Businesses that sold for more than $1 million averaged 3.73 times cash flow and closed at about full asking price. Smaller businesses averaged 2.30 times, and sellers gave up about 6% from what they asked.

Buyers are still out there. They're just picky. Clean books, steady cash flow and a business that doesn't depend on its owner are what earn the higher number.

Owners, which side of the line are you on right now?

"The timeline is almost always the problem." Andrew Lamb

Most of what raises a business's value, like a team that runs without you, takes longer to build than owners expect.

Profit and value aren't the same thing. A buyer also looks at your people, your customers, your systems and your reputation, and none of those show up on a P&L.

Brittany Farrell excited to be joining ACQUICON 2026 in Salt Lake City this October.

I’ll be leading two conversations that I think are especially important for business owners who are beginning to think beyond simply growing one company.

On Day 1, I’ll be hosting a Lunch With an Expert table on Building an Acquisition Thesis, helping owners think more intentionally about what they should acquire, why it fits their strategy, and what criteria should drive the decision *before* they start chasing deals.

Then on Day 2, we’ll take that conversation one step further with Buying Your Second Company, exploring what changes when you move from owning a business to intentionally building a portfolio of assets.

We’ll talk about things like:

→ Knowing what actually makes an acquisition strategically valuable
→ Creating clear acquisition criteria before searching
→ Capital and financing considerations
→ Management capacity and integration
→ Avoiding the trap of buying yourself another job
→ Thinking beyond one company toward a larger ownership strategy

What I like about the format is that these aren't traditional presentations. They’re small, practical roundtable conversations where we can dig into the actual questions and situations business owners are navigating.

And that’s really what ACQUICON is built around.

It’s bringing together established business owners, operators, investors, capital partners and advisors to have deeper conversations around enterprise value, acquisitions, capital, liquidity and building wealth beyond a single operating business.

If you're an owner thinking about acquisitions, or starting to ask what comes after successfully building your first company, I’d love to have you at my table.
