The State of Owner Readiness™ (SOOR) Survey is a research study that collects business attractiveness and owner readiness data for the middle market on a national level. This information is powerful and from that first national survey, conducted in 2013, the movement has taken off. This release marks the first regional research EPI will release this year!
This report was co-authored by EPI CEO Chris Snider and Dr. Richard Chan of Stony Brook University College of Business, with leadership and contributions by the newest EPI chapter president to join the network, Daniel C. Shaughnessy of BNY Mellon Wealth Management!
“I am a proud Long Islander who has spent the better part of two decades working with business owners, their families and their advisors to help them achieve their personal and professional financial goals,” said Shaughnessy, “We would like to see their legacy continue.”We are pleased to release the 2018 regional survey: Long Island.

Only 2 out of every 10 businesses that come to market actually sell. We want to increase the number of saleable businesses.
Only 30% of family businesses successfully transition to the second generation, only 12% transfer to the third, and the success rates diminish from there. We want to improve those intergenerational transitions.
Of those that succeed in the sale of their business, 75% experience “profound regret” within one year of exiting their business. We want to understand why and create strategies that achieve profound success, wealth, and satisfaction.
EPI is an education company, powered by an elite community of top advisors and owners, all focused toward creating a valuable, transferable future for the business marketplace.
