Reduce Risk. Maximize Value. Today!

All business owners, at some time, will exit their business. It is far too risky to wait until that day to prepare.

Therefore, it is prudent to implement several key action items today to save money and time tomorrow:

1. Determine your objectives

a. Identify what constitutes a successful exit
b. What level of income do you need in post-work life?

2. Assess your current financial situation

a. How much is your business worth?
b. What price do you need to satisfy your needs?

3. Define ways to increase the sellable value of your business

a. Assure your financials pass a quality of earning test
b. What improvements can you make in the next 12 months to increase its value

4. Implement tax-minimization strategies

a. What kind of deal should you seek?
b. How much will your tax burden be on your sale?

5. Contemplate options for transferring your business

a. Should you sell to a third party?
b. What type of buyer would be best for you?

6. Consider options for selling the business

a. How will you find a buyer?
b. Should I carry a seller’s note?

7. Prepare for the unexpected

a. Develop a business continuity plan
b. What happens if you must unexpectedly leave the business?
