Eventually,
every business owner will exit ownership and move
on to the next stage in his/her life. Whether that
next stage is retirement or owning another business,
strategically planning for the exit will help to maximize
net proceeds, minimize taxes at the time of sale and
beyond, and provide a smoother and more secure transition.

For most business owners, the value of their company
is the largest asset in their estate. Yet few owners
are strategic in planning for their exit. The tendency
is to focus on building the business year after year
until eventually some event or situation prompts the
decision to sell. At that point, there is little that
can be done to influence value or minimize taxes.

The alternative is to proactively plan for the exit
of ownership. Whether the time horizon is two years
or twenty, exit strategy planning can have a significant
impact on the afterlife of ownership.
