Exit Your Business
Strategies For Transferring
Ownership & Leadership

The program is designed to assist owners and their advisors grappling with complex exit issues early on - perhaps one, two, three years before the event actually occurs. To help the owner take control of the transfer process, we have developed check lists, charts and activities. Our counsel allows owners to make an informed transition, maximize value, minimize tax consequences, and preserve the family heritage and business.

Owners transferring their business to family, a partner, employees or an outside entity are dealing with a process. It is not one decision, but many soul searching decisions. It is recognizing three independent, overlapping subsystems: business, ownership and family. By using this as a model we are able to understand the dilemmas, conflicts, differences, priorities and boundaries that exist and impact the parties.

As an introduction to clients, we have developed a Transition Checklist. If you are interested in a free copy, please contact us.

The exit issues:

bullet

Determine income needed for financial security after leaving the business.
.

bullet

Establish a timetable for your departure date, even if 1, 3, or 5 years away. A delay may result in a higher price.
.

bullet

Value your business and update it annually.
.

bullet

Determine who will take over the business. Surprisingly it won't be family, employees or your partner.
.

bullet

Invest in an advisory team; attorney, accountant, spouse, Business Centre.
