Market Street Capital Inc., a boutique capital markets and financial advisory firm, is positioning itself to assist family-owned and founder-led businesses as they prepare for a massive wave of ownership transitions. 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, with more than one million viable candidates for sale representing up to $5 trillion in enterprise value.
This impending transition presents both significant opportunities and risks for business owners, their families, employees, and the broader economy. Without proper planning, many of these businesses could fail to transition smoothly, leading to lost jobs, diminished community impact, and destroyed value. Market Street Capital aims to mitigate these risks by offering strategic planning, sell-side M&A advisory, and capital structure guidance well before a transaction is on the table.
The firm’s platform has advised on more than $3 billion in completed transactions, providing credible experience for middle-market companies navigating succession. By focusing on reliable numbers and informed guidance, Market Street Capital helps owners make decisions on their own terms rather than by default.
For readers, this trend could affect local economies, employment, and investment opportunities. Family-owned industrial businesses built over decades are approaching a critical juncture: who will run the company next, and how will that transition occur? The scale of the coming transition underscores the need for early preparation and expert advice.
Market Street Capital’s services are designed to address these challenges, offering a range of solutions from succession planning to capital raising. For more information about the company, visit www.MarketStreetCP.com.

As the baby boomer generation continues to retire, the need for succession expertise will only grow. Market Street Capital’s proactive approach may serve as a model for other advisory firms looking to support this critical market segment.
