VPI Reports for September 2022 Q3
According to our latest quarterly Value Potential Index reports, the global value of privately owned businesses is more than $50 trillion. In the United States alone, these businesses are worth $24.28 trillion. As discussed previously and in many of our articles, the wealth represented by these businesses (many owned by baby boomers) is the most significant transfer of wealth in history. Whilst the value of these businesses fluctuates with capital markets and economic factors, as well as the availability of capital and interest rates, the value is substantial, and assisting business owners to maximize the value of these assets and successfully exit is a massive undertaking over the next 10 years. Many of these business owners have delayed retirement. Some simply weren’t ready to retire, others were delayed as a result of COVID-19, etc. The reality is they all will exit, and many within the next 5 to 10 years time.
Capitaliz User Forum Q&A with Founder and CEO
This month we are proud to have established our first Capitaliz Users Forum in North America. We have created a monthly space for all our advisors to get together with founder Craig West and CEO Nic Foster to collaborate and knowledge share. The meetings are an opportunity for existing advisors to continue to network and for new advisors to be welcomed into the fold.
The forum discusses upcoming features and upgrades to the platform, highlights any key advisor successes from the previous month, and gives space to explore opportunities for future improvements. It is also a place for advisors to receive any additional support and share strategy around how they are using the platform and where they’ve been able to deliver value to clients.
The first meeting was a great success, setting a really positive tone for the year ahead, with great discussion around how Capitaliz can help advisors:
We are looking forward to continually building rapport among our advisors and creating a strong network of support, collaboration, and success!
For more information on our Users Forum please contact Abby Healy at ahealy@capitaliz.com.
