Set Your Goals

• The first step in planning an exit strategy is
  being clear on what your goals are, both for
  yourself and your business.
• All of the different exit strategies available
  have their pros and cons. Some options allow you
  to retain a financial stake or various levels of
  involvement in the business, either in an
  advisory or day-to-day role. Some give your
  company a better chance of surviving in its
  original form, while others may see it broken up.
• So ask yourself whats important to you
• Do you want to stay involved in the business or
  have a clean break?
• Do you want to retain some control over its
  future direction, or do you want to give the new
  owners free rein?
• Is it more important for you to maximize your
  financial gain or to leave the company in good
  hands?
• These are big questions, so try to spend some
  time thinking about themthis is not something
  you can squeeze into the odd half-hour between
  meetings. And your decision will probably affect
  other people too, so you may also want to consult
  your family members, your business partners or
  your staff before making a decision.
• So now how about we take a gander at what's
  associated with assembling an arrangement.

Choose the Best Options

• As we saw in the introduction and in the earlier
  tutorial on effective exit strategies, some of
  the main options available to you are
• Pass it on to a family member.
• Sell to another company (a trade sale).
• Have your management team buy the company
  (management buyout).
• Have your staff pool their resources and buy it
  (employee buyout).
• Sell your stake to a business partner or other
  investor.
• Invite investment from a private-equity firm.
• Hold an IPO.
• Simply close the doors and sell off the assets
  (liquidation).
• Use the information youve put together in the
  previous section to inform your choices. For
  example, if your goal is to maximize your
  financial gain, selling to a large company will
  likely be a good strategy. But that may well see
  your firm merged into the larger entity and
  losing its independence, so if you prefer to see
  the company survive in its original form, another
  option like a management buyout may work better.
• All of the options have pros and cons, so read
  the previous tutorial to find out more about what
  those are and how to weigh them up.
