Everyone wants to leave their business with a profit \u2013 after all, that is <strong>one of the main objectives of owning a business \u2013 creating an asset with increased value that you personally realize<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like everything worthwhile, the most profitable exit is one where your business yields a strong return on investment (ROI). Driving ROI in your business sets you up for a profitable exit \u2013 it increases its value. Planning your exit requires you to take a close look at your business, uncover and solve problems, and strengthen its performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can exit your business in numerous ways, not all positive (closing or liquidating, for example). Strong exits include selling to another entity, selling to your employees, transferring ownership to a family member, and recapitalizing it, among others. All require the same planning, so we will use the general term \u201csell\u201d as a synonym for any strong exit, unless it\u2019s important to differentiate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Exit Planning<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To successfully leave your business one day with the resources you need for your next chapter, <strong>YOU MUST PLAN AHEAD<\/strong>. Your business must demonstrate value to attract a buyer and\/or yield the amount you need for your next chapter. The stronger your business, the higher its value will be. Most businesses fail this test \u2013 80% of businesses put up for sale do not sell within a year, and of the 20% that actually sell, only 14% achieve the desired sale price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be one of the slightly less than 3% of business owners who realize the benefits of business ownership, <strong>you must focus on building value inside your business and setting it up to thrive separately from you.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When To Start Exit Planning<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How long does it take to plan a strong exit? We always start with the end in mind \u2013 the actual sale or transfer of ownership. It takes an average of 9-12 months to actually sell a business successfully (sometimes longer). Owners who decide on the spur of the moment to sell will almost certainly not receive a price that meets any of their goals.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecngx364.inmotionhosting.com\/~capcon7\/wp-content\/uploads\/common-barriers-to-successful-exit-546x1024.png\" alt=\"Infographic about exit planning that shows three common barriers to a successful exit: the business owner lacks clear goals, the business has insufficient value, and the business's performance is disappointing. \" class=\"wp-image-656\" style=\"width:410px;height:768px\" width=\"410\" height=\"768\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you do when you prepare to put a house on the market, you need time to prepare to put your business up for sale to get the best price.
