Chicagoland Sunbelt, the dominant business brokerage firm in Chicago, reported that it
facilitated the sale of a Custom Saddle Business in the Chicago metro area. Chicagoland
Sunbelt generated multiple offers for this business which resulted in an attractive exit strategy
for the business owners.

Chicagoland Sunbelt was retained by the Seller to manage the entire business acquisition
process which included designing an exit strategy, developing a confidential marketing plan,
fielding offers, coordinating due diligence, and overseeing the complexities of the closing and
management transition.

“We are at the beginning of an unprecedented trend with an ever increasing number of
executives looking to leave their corporate careers and the ‘baby boomers’ preparing to retire
and sell their businesses”, stated Domenic Rinaldi, managing partner of Chicagoland Sunbelt.
“This transaction was handled by one of our senior brokers, Donn Raabe, who did an
outstanding job of managing all phases of this transaction.”

According to a study by Marquette University, there are approximately 7.7 million small and
mid-size businesses owned by ‘baby boomers’. Over the next fifteen years 1 of every 2 of
these businesses will act upon an exit strategy. This will result in an overwhelming 3.8 million
businesses changing hands between 2005 and 2020.

realities of small business transactions. Buyers should be certain to locate transactionoriented
advisors, meet with potential financial providers, research the local market, utilize a
professional business broker and choose a business for the work first and the financials
second. Sellers should hire a professional business broker, obtain a valuation, understand
their tax consequences, confidentially market the business and rely on experienced advisors.
