Webinar: The Silver Tsunami

Surviving a Demographic Tidal Wave

Recorded October 12, 2023

Americans over 55 own half of all US businesses. Most lack even a basic an ownership transition plan. A Silver Tsunami of retiring owners is quickly approaching, and when it crashes, it could wash out nearly 3 million businesses and 32 million jobs.

Join Project Equity's Stacey Smith and CSG's Lawrence Kaplan for a closer look at the data behind this looming economic crisis. Building on Project Equity's groundbreaking "Small Business Closure Crisis" report, they highlight notable industry, regional, and demographic patterns that shape our understanding of the Silver Tsunami.

Our panelists also discuss how businesses and communities can survive this looming crisis through succession planning and transition strategies such as employee ownership.
