An exit strategy is a plan to create succession or liquidate the value of shares. A successful exit will focus on profitable value and ideally realise the goodwill inherent in a business; that being the customer loyalty that results in both current and future profitable revenue. Some corporates will also divest non-core assets to realise capital and create focus in their strategy.
Exits can be driven by shareholders, retirement, investors or corporate strategy. The method, approach and strategy employed are an important part of the entrepreneur’s journey, as well as in corporate divestment.
Set against a number of case studies, our Exit Strategies by Design guide examines the different exit options available for business owners and shareholders, together with key elements to consider, such as preparation for the sale, valuation and timing.
