Every Business Owner Needs an Exit Strategy
There are two common mistakes business owners make that can cost them millions in an eventual liquidity event and derail their lives afterwards: focusing singularly on growth and profits instead of building enterprise value and neglecting to have an exit strategy that includes a post-transaction plan for their new life.
Mark will cover topics on:
- Developing of an exit strategy that focuses on business owner's best practices for growing and capturing the maximum value of what may be their most valuable asset, their company.
- Successfully transition to the next chapter of life after a sale with new perspective, focus and passions after living a life where for so long, a business owner's business was their identity.
This session will provide a framework to develop an exit strategy that position business owners for the optimal eventual post-transaction outcome, economically and personally.
