The Risks of Neglecting Your Exit Strategy

Unrealized Value

If you don’t work on your business with end outcomes in mind, you may not unlock the full value that buyers appreciate and you will likely leave a lot of your wealth on the table.

Unplanned Events

If you and your businesses are not prepared for a future transition, you may find yourself at risk of unplanned events that could back you into an involuntary exit and cause significant losses.

Trapped by Success

If you are not planning for what you want personally and financially, the business will continue to come first and leave you stuck in your circumstances without a plan for what is next.

Don’t let a lack planning limit your personal and financial freedom.

There are hard truths in the data...

50%

of business transitions are involuntary due to lack of preparation

70%

of businesses that go to market don’t sell

75%

of owners who do sell regret it within the first 12 months

of owners have no formal written exit plan
