The Silver Tsunami

Could Buying a Business Be Your Next Act?

Dear friends,

You are invited to join the P&G Alumni Network Cincinnati Chapter on Tuesday, November 17, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at UHY’s Cincinnati office for an evening of networking and a fascinating discussion about a major generational business opportunity.

The Silver Tsunami: An Opportunity for P&G Alumni

Millions of Baby Boomers are approaching retirement age, and many own successful small and midsize businesses. As these owners look to retire, an unprecedented generational transfer of business ownership is taking shape — often called the “Silver Tsunami.”

For P&G alumni considering their next act, buying an established business may be an attractive alternative to starting a company from scratch or returning to corporate life.

Think about it: an existing business with customers, employees, cash flow, and an established market — potentially led by someone with the strategic, marketing, financial, and general management skills developed at P&G.

Our Guest Speaker: Rick Flynn, UHY Office Managing Director

Rick Flynn brings more than 40 years of experience advising privately held businesses. He founded Cincinnati-based Flynn & Company in 1994 and built the firm over three decades before joining UHY in 2025. Rick has experienced a business ownership transition firsthand and understands the opportunities, complexities, and risks involved.

Importantly, Rick brings a neutral, balanced perspective. He is not coming to pitch a particular business for sale. His firm provides both buy-side and sell-side advisory services, so he can help prospective buyers understand how to identify and evaluate opportunities, while also advising business owners who are considering selling.
We’ll explore questions such as:

• Why are so many businesses expected to change hands?
• What makes an established business an attractive acquisition?
• How can a prospective buyer find opportunities and evaluate the risks?
• What should business owners consider when planning an exit?
• How might P&G experience translate into successful business ownership?

Whether you’re exploring your next career chapter, already own a business, or are simply curious about this historic ownership transition, this promises to be a valuable conversation.
