Exit Planning

Exit Planning with Access Business Advisors

An exit plan is a comprehensive road map that helps business owners successfully and profitably exit a privately-held business. It is strategically designed to assist in the decision-making process and illustrates how crucial decisions will be made to facilitate the exit. The Plan also addresses all necessary topics regarding personal, professional, and financial issues in conjunction with preparing the business owners, their families, and in some cases key employees for transition.

When you engage the guidance of a skilled business advisor at Access to assist in planning and preparing for the strategic exit from your business, it allows you to focus your energy on what you know best — running your business — knowing that you have a trusted advisor keeping the strategic plan on track.

An Exit Planner is an important professional to have on your team of advisors. This advisor can help you prepare to leave your company and alleviate the stress of its eventual sale while you focus on operating your business and increasing profits so you, in-turn, will receive the best possible price.

Creating an Exit Plan is less stressful when owners know and understand their options and realize which option would support the kind of legacy they want to leave behind.

Knowing when to act and when not to act is a key component in all important decisions. Likewise, knowing when to keep your business and when to sell it can make a significant difference in the success of your exit and your future financial security. Take the “Keep or Sell Test” and review your answers with your CBB Planning Advisor to ensure that your timing is on target.
