Often the Business Owner is too busy
running his business and comes up short if the opportunity of a
sales arises, or he decides to sell the business at a time he thinks
to get out and retire.
Exit planning helps business owners
set, sort through, and achieve their exit objectives. It enables
owners to leave their companies when they want, to the successors
they want, and with the amount of cash they need.
Without exception,
every owner leaves his or her company. Whether you do it in style
depends on the specific exit planning actions you take before you
leave.
Exit Planning involves answering "Yes" to
seven questions:
- Do you know your exact retirement
goals and what it will take—in
cash—to reach them?
- Do you know how much your business is worth today, in cash?
- Do you know the best way to maximize the income stream generated
by your ownership interest?
- Do you know how to sell your business to a third party and pay
the least possible taxes?
- Do you know how to transfer your business to family members,
co-owners, or employees while paying the least possible taxes and
enjoying maximum financial security?
- Do you have a continuity plan for your business if the unexpected
happens to you?
- Do you have a plan to secure financial independence for your
family if the unexpected happens to you?
Can you say yes to all the seven questions - or are you leaving
some money on the table when it comes to your transition?
