Exit Your Business
This workflow references financial information for educational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making major financial decisions.
Estimated time: 6-18 months
Exiting a business is one of the most significant financial events in an owner's life. Whether selling to a third party, executing a management buyout, or transitioning to a successor, the process requires careful preparation to maximize value and ensure a smooth transition. Most business owners only do this once, and mistakes are expensive.
This workflow guides you through five stages: valuing your business, preparing it for sale, marketing to potential buyers, negotiating the deal terms, and managing the ownership transition. The entire process typically takes 6-18 months from decision to closing.
