Exit Planning
Exit planning is a strategy or plan on how you will sell or exit your business.
Your exit plan should start well in advance of arriving at the decision to sell your business.
How well you exit your business depends on how well your business is prepared and ready for sale and how well you are ready to exit your business.
Who do we work with?
We work with the business owner to help you build a company that can thrive without you.
Our system gives you the freedom to run your business if you like, turn it into a passive income generating asset or sell it to the highest bidder.
Why start now?
Research has identified:
-
1. 8 in 10 businesses across the world will never sell as a going concern;
-
2. Only 16% of business owners have a documented exit plan; and
-
3. 50% of owners with a documented exit plan need to have those plans reviewed and updated.
Like business owners, your business will be the primary source of your family income and it is likely that you will be depending on the capital proceeds from the sale of your business for your financial independence or to fund your next business venture.
The earlier you start to prepare for the exit from your business, the greater the opportunity you will have to maximise its value and successfully sell your business.

How is it possible that three quarters of owners are disappointed just one year after what should be the happiest day of their life? The answer is, most owners fail to consider the practical and emotional factors that can lead to disappointment after an exit.
The questions that make up the Personal Readiness to Exit (PRE) Score questionnaire are designed to help you evaluate your preparedness to exit your business and ensure you leave your company with no regrets.
