Exit strategy 101
What is Exit Strategy Business Planning
Exit strategy business planning is more than setting a date to retire or sell your business. Done properly, exit planning is about optimizing the value of your business so that when you are ready to exit, whether you decide to sell or succeed it to the next generation of family ownership, you receive the maximum value for the company you have worked so hard to build.
To do this, you need time. Exit strategy business planning should begin at least five years before you plan to sell or retire, and ideally up to 10 years in advance. Some advisors tell business owners they should start Exit strategy business planning as soon as they start a business, since the exit goals, to some extent, may guide how the business is managed.
