A major transition is coming for small businesses across the country - and most communities aren’t talking about it enough.
In this episode of Chamber Amplified from the Findlay-Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, Doug Jenkins sits down with Josh Robb from Hixon Zuercher Capital Management to discuss the growing wave of business owner retirements expected over the next decade and what it could mean for local communities.
They discuss:
- why succession planning matters,
- how retiring owners can prepare their businesses for transition,
- why local ownership matters to a community,
- how entrepreneurs can position themselves to buy existing businesses,
- and the emotional side of stepping away from a company you spent decades building.
The conversation also explores how this “silver tsunami” could impact local leadership, charitable giving, workforce stability, and the future character of communities like Findlay.
If you’re a business owner, future entrepreneur, investor, or simply someone who cares about the future of local business, this episode is for you.
