Sticking a Toe (or Two) in the Exit Planning Pool
In this issue, we attempt to dismantle the most common objections owners have to undertaking the planning necessary to exit their companies successfully. Excuses to avoid Exit Planning include the following:
- The business isn’t worth enough to meet my financial needs. When it is, I’ll think about leaving.
- I will be required to work for a new owner for years.
- I don’t need to plan. When the business is ready, a buyer will find me.
- This business is my life! I can’t imagine my life without it!
Assuming we are successful in persuading you that Exit Planning not only helps your business while you are in it but also is the best way to leave the company to the successor you choose, on the date you choose, and for the amount of cash you want, you might ask, “How do I, as an owner, jump into Exit Planning?”
