Based on the existing retirement research, we will develop an application, which allows the ageing entrepreneur in micro and small-sized enterprises to assess the optimal timing of their exit from their business. The aim is to provide a model, application and information to increase retirement awareness and optimize entrepreneur retirement outcomes, secure employment in the companies of ageing entrepreneurs, make entrepreneurship a more attractive employment alternative, and help secure the transfer of business in these companies. The key measures in utilizing previous research results include (1) identifying entrepreneur retirement paths, (2) developing a model and application for optimizing entrepreneur retirement, and (3) piloting the model and application in a number of Finnish micro and small sized companies. This will help entrepreneurs optimize their retirement, secure employment of the company employees during business transfer, and inform decision makers.
