The Exit Strategy

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

The scenario is common: you start a business, work hard for years to make it grow during the peaks and endure during the valleys.  You make a myriad of decisions to keep it healthy and profitable, from expanding your line of products and services,  adding new locations and hiring the right staff and management.

But have you thought about no longer being involved in running the business?  The reasons are countless, like feeling a bit tired or bored of doing the same thing for so many years, or just wanting to spend your time on something new or different.   Have you thought about when you want to retire? If you have been thinking about stepping away from your business, for whatever reason, then, what will you do with it?

If you want to explore your exit strategy options, our experts can help you choose the most appropriate  and best options based on your business appraisal and your end goals after stepping back from actively running your business.  Some options include

• to continue to run the business exactly as it currently runs but under different management;
• to expand the market presence of the business in terms of products, services, and locations;
• to merge with a complementary company that will strengthen and possibly diversify the company; or
• to take the company public if the right investor partner can be found.

We can help you make your business an attractive prospect to potential buyers or investors.

An integral part of a proper exit strategy, is to prepare your business for the transition from to a new ownership and management structure. The first step is to  know the value of your business. The valuation helps determine how healthy the business is operating and can present areas that might have been previously overlooked and that can be optimized.
