Your Strategic Exit Roadmap

1. Define Your Objectives

Clarify personal and financial goals—whether retiring, preserving legacy, or launching something new. These inform your exit direction.

2. Assess Business Value

Engage professionals to assess company value based on performance, customer base, intellectual property, and industry multiples.

3. Prepare for Transition

Organize financials, upgrade leadership structure, and document all operations. Transparency and structure ensure deal momentum and confidence.

4. Identify Buyers

Define your ideal acquirer and prepare outreach—strategic buyer, PE firm, management, or merger. Maintain confidentiality and clarity.

5. Develop Strategy

Finalize structure (asset sale, stock sale, recap, etc). Plan for taxes, legal, timelines, stakeholder impact, and transition support.

6. Engage Experts

Use seasoned M&A professionals, attorneys, and financial advisors. This expertise drives value and reduces execution risk at every stage.
