For many roofing contractors, a successful final chapter of their business is to transition or sell it to a new owner so they can retire comfortably. This is a critical phase, as most contractors fail to sell, and most end in liquidation for around 10% of their book value.
Contractor owners reinvest their profits back into their business to the point where, on average, they have over 70% of their wealth stuck inside their illiquid business. This investment is needed for enjoyable retirement.
