If you are thinking of selling your business, either now or in the future, the time to start planning is now. You are running a successful business and have put in years of hard work. Many business owners have an exit plan in place.
Chinese Proverb “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now”
Unfortunately, many business owners are preoccupied with the daily operations of their business and they neglect to take the time to properly plan for the inevitable transition of their business.
In the military, an exit plan is understood as the plan utilized in any mission to minimize the loss of lives and equipment.
Similarly an exit plan for a business is a way of transitioning the ownership of your company while recouping the capital you have invested in it. The idea is to minimize the losses, and maximize your return on investment (ROI).
Whether you are keeping the business in the family, selling to a third party, or having current management take over the business, a functioning exit strategy is essential to maximise the value of your business when it is sold.
