Scale or Sell: Thriving in Today’s Market and Tomorrow’s Recession
The reality is clear—small businesses built by solopreneurs and lean teams are under pressure. Rising overhead costs, shrinking profit margins, and limited market reach are forcing owners to rethink their path forward. With a potential recession looming, the question isn’t if you should make a move—it’s how fast. Do you scale to secure long-term growth, or sell to protect your legacy before the market shifts?
Why Scale or Sell Now
Recession-Resilient Security
Mergers, acquisitions, and franchising reduce costs, add new revenue streams, and protect against market swings. Selling early also means cashing out at higher multiples before values drop.
Expand Your Reach
Franchising or partnering breaks local limits. Leverage collective marketing and brand power to compete directly with national players.
Operate Leaner, Smarter
Shared systems and proven playbooks cut inefficiencies while boosting productivity. Get better tech and infrastructure—without doubling expenses.
Faster Growth or Exit
In uncertain times, speed wins. Mergers and franchising accelerate scale, while selling gives you a strategic exit at peak value.
Let’s discuss which path positions you best—growth or exit.
I’ve been in the sanitation business for over 20 years, mostly working solo. I never had the time or skill set to handle the admin and financial side of my business — I just focused on the work. After connecting with POC, everything changed. They matched me with a team that helped me organize my business, secure contracts, and free up my time to do what I do best. The difference is night and day. If you’ve been trying to do it all alone, don’t — POC will help you build the right team and grow.

POC helped our company team up with a solar provider to launch our very first solar apprenticeship program — something we’d been dreaming about for years. We’d always wanted to offer certified training in multiple industries, but we didn’t have the internal team to make it happen. POC stepped in, identified the perfect partner, and helped us form a solid joint venture with all the right legal framework in place. Thanks to their support, we’re finally expanding our impact and providing real opportunities for our students. Highly recommend moving forward with POC — they know how to find the right match and make collaboration work for everyone.
