The world’s most trusted business brokerage, LINK’s mission is to facilitate the sale of businesses ethically, confidentially, and with the utmost integrity.

We surveyed 2,000 small business owners across industries to uncover perspectives on expanding opportunities, long-term planning, and tapping expert advice to drive sustainable growth. As an authority in financial services and business strategy consulting, LINK has a responsibility to provide data-backed insights to help entrepreneurs plan ahead amid economic uncertainty. Measuring attitudes provides key inputs to help owners make informed decisions for their organizations.

Pursuing New Ventures and Opportunities

Our latest poll reveals an entrepreneurial spirit still burns bright despite recent downturns. With 70% of owners open to new challenges outside current operations, many are ready to explore new products, services, partnerships, and markets. However, converting aspirations into tangible ventures requires dedicated resources and guidance.

The data shows owners acknowledge the need to supplement their expertise. 75% believe external advice could optimize their business, whether through financial planning, legal consultation, marketing strategies, or technical solutions. This openness presents a timely opportunity for experts across industries to engage enthusiastic clients ready to take their organization to the next level.

Charting new business territories demands vision and a strategic roadmap to success. At LINK Business, we provide critical guidance, blending data-driven insights with financial acumen to empower entrepreneurs to realize their long-term ambitions.

Lacking Long-Term Perspective

While owners demonstrate an appetite for fresh opportunities, many lack structured long-term planning. 80% have pondered the future direction of their firm and exit strategy. Yet without action, these thoughts remain hypothetical scenarios rather than executable blueprints. Just 20% have an actionable roadmap charting their company’s next chapter and their post-entrepreneurship life.

This gap reveals a pressing need for guided support on succession planning, value enhancement, and retirement readiness. By quantifying financial targets and laying milestone-driven strategies well in advance, experts can equip owners to make informed choices for their venture while securing personal finances for the future. A shared vision prevents rushed decisions when new ventures or life changes come calling.

Driving Growth and Securing Future Success for Entrepreneurs

With a hunger for new horizons but few structured plans to get there, business owners are primed to benefit from expert guidance on executing growth opportunities while future-proofing their firm and finances for long-term success. As a financial and strategic consulting leader, LINK is positioned to deliver data-driven insights and solutions to entrepreneurs looking to take their organizations to the next level while securing their finances for the years ahead.
