Exit Planning & Transition Services

“Every company needs an exit strategy and an exit plan. Ideally, the exit strategy should be agreed upon by the founders before the first dollar of investment goes into the company.”

The Best Time to Do Exit Planning

Why would anyone who is not ready to sell do exit planning?

We often hear that question and most people think that there isn’t a good reason – they couldn’t be more wrong.
  • 80-90% of a business owners wealth is tied up in their businesses 12 months after selling, 3 out of 4 business owners surveyed “profoundly regretted” the decision. (Price Waterhouse)
  • 70-80% of businesses put on the market don’t sell. (Business Reference Guide, T. West)
  • Only 30% of all family-owned businesses survive into the second generation;
  • only 12% survive into the third generation; only 3% operate at the fourth generation and beyond. (Family Firm Institute)
50% of exits are NOT planned (Death, Disability, Divorce, Disagreement). Do you Think you can Beat the Odds Without a Plan?
