Own a Business?
Have you received unsolicited offers to buy your
business? Are you planning to retire? Do
you want to sell to key employees, gift shares, or
execute a major business change within the next 1-10
years? If you answered “Yes” to
any of those questions, congratulations. And,
one more thing -- you should start your Exit Plan
now.
What Is an Exit Plan?
Other than starting it, leaving your business after
building it into a big success is the most important
business decision you will ever make. An Exit
Plan is a customized, comprehensive, step-by-step
process that prepares you and your business to leave
it on your own terms. It aims to satisfy your
own objectives in an efficient way. Your Exit
Plan may cover retirement, partial retirement, sale
of your business, transfer to family and/or employees,
or even business expansion. Your Exit Plan
may be geared to minimize tax, maximize your cash
take upon leaving, improve business management, prepare
for a financed sale, or satisfy your personal Exit
objectives. |
