Planning for life after shop ownership is something many independent collision shop owners overlook—until they’re already in the process of selling. But without a clear vision, the transition can be overwhelming and leave former owners wondering, “What’s next?”

In this episode, Matt DiFrancesco shares insights from the Northeast Conference, where he and Laura Gay led a discussion on preparing for life beyond the shop. They addressed common concerns from shop owners, including burnout, the challenges of third-party sales, and the uncertainty of what comes after stepping away from the business.
