The Succession Wave
Baby Boomer entrepreneurs who built their companies from the 1970s through the 2000s are now in their 60s and 70s. Many are actively planning exits or dealing with complex succession situations within their families.
Motivations Beyond Price
Many second-generation sellers are motivated by considerations beyond price: ensuring their employees are protected, their customer relationships are maintained, and their life’s work is carried forward with care.
IKON’s Relationship Approach
IKON Group approaches second-generation acquisitions as a relationship rather than a transaction. We invest significant time understanding the business, the owner’s values, and the team’s culture before submitting any offer.
Retained Involvement
We offer thoughtful succession structures including retained family ownership stakes, board positions, consulting arrangements, and earnouts that honor the founder’s contributions and maintain their connection to the business.
