For an Owner of a Privately Held Business, a POSITIVE Exit is the culmination of years of hard work and financial investment - the ultimate payoff above and beyond the other benefits the business has provided over the years.

For those with desires or passions beyond business, this is when the time and financial freedom will be available to pursue them.

For those who want to remain with their business as long as they can, the benefits of preparing for a POSITIVE Exit will accrue to their families and employees, with the stage being set for a sustainable transition in accordance with the owner's desires.

Professional investors like Venture Capitalists and Private Equity Groups always begin with the end in mind. They start out with plans that will generate their own POSITIVE Exits. This is a lead worth following.

Exit Planning (we prefer to call it ENDURANCE PLANNING™) is a comprehensive process that draws from a team of advisors to prepare for a POSITIVE Exit, whether the owner desires to transfer the business to family members, employees, or outside third parties.

To provide the time that is typically required to prepare for that eventual ownership transfer, it is best to begin the planning process at least three to five years in advance.

The actual deliverable from an Advanced Planning process is Exit Preparedness...a state from which you will be ready to transfer ownership whenever YOU decide to do so, or if circumstances force you to.
