According to Forbes, an increasing number of individual buyers are entering the business acquisition market, yet the supply of quality businesses for sale has not kept pace. Despite heightened demand, median sale prices have only modestly increased, partly because the anticipated wave of Baby Boomer-owned businesses hasn't fully materialized.

Furthermore, securing financing remains challenging for many individual buyers, and online communities of novice buyers often lack helpful expertise. 

Ultimately, practical experience and targeted learning from established experts are crucial for successful business acquisition, outweighing formal education or self-proclaimed titles.
