Timing your exit

Getting the timing right to maximise value

We would always encourage owners to work with us on their exit two, three or even four years in advance, but we also work with business owners throughout their whole business lifecycle to put their exit and succession front and centre of their ongoing business planning.

Writing strategic business plans that don’t consider the business owners exit as the final stage but goes beyond that for the next generation of owner is increasingly common and something that we would encourage.

Working out your ultimate goal and the timing of your exit and how the business continues beyond that is key to great strategic planning.

Timing your exit

Avoiding distraction

Selling a business can be a long and distracting process. Often business owners who try and handle the process themselves find it has a negative impact on their overall business performance and even their own wellbeing.

By having professional advisors at your side advising you can avoid it affecting the day-to-day success of your business and will ensure that your exit doesn’t affect you and potentially your family’s wellbeing.
