Exit Planning and Business Disposals
Is it too early to be planning an exit?
Arguably, a good time to start exit planning is when you set up the business. However, the reality is that most owners are too busy building and growing their business to think about an exit at that stage. Consequently business exit strategy and succession planning is frequently overlooked.
An unplanned approach to retirement or the sale of your company can lead to the value of your business (or of your shareholding) not being maximised. Planning an exit a few years in advance is potentially the best way to achieve your objectives (financially and otherwise) as well as ensuring a smooth transition.
