EXIT & SUCCESSION PLANNING
Business Owners suffer from wealth concentration risks and illiquidity resulting in avoidable stress and lifestyles less than their net worth would warrant and deserve Business Owners need not sell 100% or go Public to extract capital. Many strategies can be used by Business Owners to achieve diversification and liquidity yet retain significant equity ownership and even control in many instances. The right strategy is singularly dependent upon the personal and business goals and objectives of the Owner. Careful assessment is essential.
​
Business Owner exit strategy planning is an underappreciated opportunity to be proactive and requires advance planning and specific actions to reduce the risks associated with transitions; which risks necessarily impact valuation.
​

Many Business Owners are inadequately prepared to understand and weigh their opportunities to obtain working capital, growth capital, capital for personal liquidity and diversification, and capital in the course of exit/succession planning.
