Every Business Should an Exit Plan
It’s no surprise that business exit strategy is often overlooked until the last minute. Whether you’re getting ready to launch your dream start-up or knee-deep in daily operations, the last thing you’re thinking about is the day it all comes to an end. But when that day does come, you’ll want it to have all been worth it, and that’s why you need to start planning your exit from the beginning.
An exit strategy is a key element of any business plan. It will help you maximise the value and minimise the pain of closing down your business.
In fact, a well-planned exit doesn’t just set you up for the day you sell-up or retire. By designing your business around maximising the exit price, you’re effectively implementing value and profit boosting strategies that can start benefitting your business today.
“To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.” – Stephen Covey
