Exit on your terms

Did you know that most companies leave money on the table when they exit? This can happen due to a variety of reasons such as selling for the wrong price, to the wrong buyer, at the wrong time, or simply due to a lack of planning well in advance of an exit. In fact, research indicates that 99% of all business owners are leaving significant wealth on the table or are at risk of seeing their wealth disappearing due to key mistakes and missed opportunities.

Some common challenges impacting business owners every day include a lack of operational effectiveness, an inability to grow consistently, and an unsatisfactory transition or sale of the business. A lack of key systems and processes can result in a business that lacks a solid foundation for predictable profits and cash flow. Additionally, many businesses have difficulty producing monthly or quarterly balance sheets and/or income and cash flow statements. Without key financial information, it's difficult to consistently make good decisions on how to best utilize the resources of the company.

It's important for companies to carefully consider their exit strategy and plan ahead to maximize their returns. By addressing these common challenges and taking proactive steps to improve operational effectiveness and growth, companies can increase their chances of a successful exit. Working with a professional can be one of the best investments a company can make in ensuring a successful exit. #exitstrategy #businessplanning #maximizingreturns
