Exit Planning - Maximizing Value Through Pre-Transaction ReadinessDominic Brault
According to numerous surveys, more than half of business owners intend to transition ownership of their business during the next 10 years. Yet most business owners do not have a formal strategic or financial plan, and many are unaware of the possible tax and estate implications. As a result, there is a real need for business exit planning. A robust exit plan will help chart a course toward extracting maximum value from the company to reach the seller’s goals.
