Deciding the best way to exit your business is a big decision and can be overwhelming when you don’t understand your options. When thinking about exit planning, you need to figure out what you want and what will be best for the business. There are only a few options for exiting a business. By understanding these options, you can better decide which one is best for you. Business owners can exit their businesses by:
Transferring ownership of your business to your children or other family
Selling your business to all of your employees, to the management team, or your co-owner(s)
Selling your business to an outside third party
Selling a portion of your business to an outside investor
Conducting an orderly liquidation, during which the assets of your business are sold or auctioned off
Exit planning should be done as early on in the business as possible. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Getting trusted professional advice from a certified appraiser on the value of your assets and/or a business valuation can help to ensure that you make the right decisions for you and your business.
