BizBuySell, which bills itself as the largest marketplace for buying and selling businesses on the Internet, has conducted a recent survey which showed that a notable percentage of business owners are selling their businesses due to the rising cost of health care.
“This year ushered in a wave of new federal and local government regulations” a release announcing the new survey explained. “For small businesses, these changing laws potentially impact not only profitability, but their ability to sell. One issue of major concern is the rising cost of health care.”
According to the survey, 20 percent of national business brokers revealed they have had a client sell their business because of rising healthcare costs.
