I think the point to be gleaned from this article is not "start a business and then retire on the proceeds from its sale." As the article states, people aren't buying businesses at a rate that makes that a sensible strategy.

The more immediate benefit of owning/starting a business "at age" is to create employment for yourself, when employment pickings are very thin for older workers.

Bad that the recession has destroyed retirement funds and people have to work longer. Worse that those same people may not find work at all due to age related factors. One solution is to create a job for yourself.
