KEY CONSIDERATIONS WHEN THINKING ABOUT AN EXTRAORDINARY EXIT
WHAT IS DRIVING THE DECISION FOR AN EXIT?
Is there a particular event or need for exit? Perhaps a stage of life, lifestyle decision, or no succession plan? These are some of the common reasons for an exit - understanding yours is key.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE OUTCOMES?
What outcomes are required ( must have ) or preferred ( nice to have)? This includes valuation expectations , exit timing, and plans for the existing management team.
IS YOUR SUCCESS TEAM IN PLACE?
Having the right team in place is essential. This can include the leadership team, strategic exit coach, sell side advisor, wealth manager, lawyer, accountant and deal CFO.
ARE YOUR FINANCIALS IN ORDER?
Are you financial statements in order. Can you provide consistent growth figures? It is critical to have clean financials with straight forward explanations and analysis.
HAVE YOU RECENTLY BEEN APPROACHED BY BUYERS?
If so, who and why they are interested? Knowing your buyers is an important aspect of successfully positioning your business for an exit.
HAVE YOU EXPLORED ALL OF YOUR EXIT OUTCOMES?
Whether selling to strategic or financial buyers, a well planned exit involves evaluating and comparing every option available.
HAVE YOU IMAGINED YOUR LIFE AFTER A SALE?
Legacy is important. Imagine life after an exit: what do you see? What does an ideal exit, and life after an exit, look like to you? Take time to reflect on the future and your goals.
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE COULD BE A STRATEGIC BUYER?
What is the strategic value your business brings to the buyer? What are your "Rembrandt's in the attic" and how does your business improve the buyer's competitive position?
