One of the most difficult decisions a business owner makes is how and when to exit a business. The “how” is an important decision. Some say the “how” should be known from the very beginning, whether to transfer to family members, existing management, or to an outside buyer. At the least, business owners should be planning years before the desired exit date.
Many business owners delay asking the “when” question. Some can’t answer “when” because they haven’t figured out “how”. Or perhaps they can’t answer the “when” because they can’t face life without an income stream. Just as often, they don’t know the magic dollar amount to secure their financial independence. We at RegentAtlantic work with our business owner clients to answer these and other difficult questions about their financial future.
