Exit/Succession Planning
When preparing for the inevitable transitions of business ownership, Exit / Succession Planning emerges as a critical framework, guiding businesses through smooth transitions while safeguarding their long-term viability. Within this framework lie essential considerations such as Business Valuations, Inside Transfers, and Outside Sales. Business Valuations provide a comprehensive assessment of your company's worth, essential for informed decision-making in exit planning and buy-sell agreements. Inside Transfers facilitate seamless transitions by passing ownership or management to individuals within the company, preserving its culture and legacy. Meanwhile, Outside Sales offer opportunities for liquidity and growth, allowing you to capitalize on the value you've built.
