Exit Planning

Exit planning is a process that focuses on the important needs of owners of closely-held businesses who are contemplating a change in or transition of their business ownership, whether by selling to a third party or transferring ownership to family members, co-owners or employees.

Studies show that 7 out of 10 mid-sized businesses will transfer ownership in the next decade. These studies conclude that only 28 percent of private businesses have done exit planning… or 72 percent have done nothing. One study shows that only one out of four businesses for sale actually sells.

Consider this: If you are one of the 28 percent who has done planning, do you think the likelihood of having a successful transition is better? We strongly believe it is!
