Do You Have an Exit Plan?

Are you looking to sell your business or transition it to a family member and retire? And are you counting on that asset to fund your retirement? If so you may have some real issues to address.

A survey1 of small businesses in the United States revealed that 54% intend to retire in the next 10 years, but 72% don’t have an exit plan. This will create a succession crisis.

  • Boomer business owners will sell or bequeath $10 trillion worth of assets over the next two decades.
  • These assets are held in more than 12 million privately-owned businesses.
  • More than 70% of these companies are expected to change hands.

Strong Fundamentals Are a Competitive Advantage

An oversupply of sellers creates a competitive environment which drives down business valuations. A company’s ability to sell at an attractive valuation will depend on its fundamentals and competitive advantage.
