Consider Your Exit Strategy

You’ve had to consider and evaluate your product or service mix, location, competition, customer base, marketing, business growth, organization and more. So much of your focus has been on beginning, sustaining and growing your business, but if you haven’t done so already, you owe it to yourself to develop an exit strategy.

Having an exit for tomorrow can be a blueprint for today. One of the benefits of an exit strategy is that having an idea of how you would like to end your involvement in your business may make it easier for you to run the business today. You may plan to pass the business along to a family member or take the company public. Or perhaps you plan to sell to an investor or employee. Maybe you want to stay involved part-time but cede responsibility to someone else. You may also consider selling it on the open market or simply terminate the business. If you have an idea of how you plan to exit, you can begin to conduct your business with that objective in mind and change tactics if your desired exit should change over the course of time. There are practical and emotional pros and cons to any exit. Each should be carefully considered and weighed.
