You’ve built a successful business—but what’s next? Whether you’re looking to retire, pivot, or just gain freedom, planning your exit is essential to securing the value you’ve worked so hard to create.
Start Sooner Than You Think
Many owners wait too long to prepare for exit. Ideally, exit planning should begin 2–3 years before a potential sale. This gives you time to enhance your company’s value, correct inefficiencies, and demonstrate consistent profitability.
How to Enhance Business Value
- Build strong systems: Reduce dependency on yourself
- Develop your leadership team: Show buyers the business can run without you
- Increase recurring revenue: Buyers love predictability
- Optimize financials: Clean books and strong profit margins are a must
What Buyers Are Looking For
Buyers want confidence. They’re looking for:
- Consistent cash flow
- Scalable systems and processes
- A loyal customer base
- Low owner involvement
- Documented operations and SOPs
