Exit planning refers to the process of determining the best route for selling or transferring a business to successors while also ensuring the business owner comfortable retirement.
Creating an exit plan should precede the business owner’s exit by at least 5 to 10 years and requires several advisors, including a Certified Business Exit Consultant to “quarterback” the process, an Attorney, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Financial Planner, Certified Life Underwriter, Certified Management Consultant, and others to help the business owner visualize their best exit and succession strategies.
