THE ART OF THE EXIT
- the how, the when & the why
It's Your Baby.
Your Legacy.
Your Blood Sweat & Tears.
It's Your Chance To Have A Life Changing Event.
Selling a business is a rare milestone that most entrepreneurs never reach. For those aspiring to or currently planning an exit, getting your "ducks in a row" involves many non-obvious steps. If it were as simple as setting a valuation multiple and searching for a buyer, the mergers and acquisitions market would look very different. Preparing for a successful acquisition or exit requires a dedicated strategy, financial preparations, buyer profiling, staff decisions, Due Diligence preparation and navigation, obtaining SBA-backed financing and so - so - so much more.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO SELL YOUR COMPANY?
Every business owner operates with complete freedom, carving out a unique path—which is precisely why many choose entrepreneurship in the first place. Naturally, no two founders are identical. While some possess exceptional mastery over a few specialized skills, others excel as versatile generalists, and many truly hit their stride years into their careers.
If you could only cite one reason, which one would it be?
"Burn Out"
I have 4 flat tires, no gas in the tank, the engine is on fire and my cholesterol is 319. Its time to say goodbye.
Retirement Calls!
It's time to sunset my career. I won, I lost and I'm getting out while the getting is good - and my knees and back still function properly.
On To The Next!
I have soooooo many ideas and not enough time. And speaking of time, it would be nice to take chips off the table and reap some of my rewards.
