PLAN FOR AN EXITY STRATEGY EVEN IF YOU DON’T WANT TO EXIT
Why would you plan an exit strategy even if you don’t want to exit? The answer is simple…if you improve the value of your business for a potential buyer, it means that you are incrementally growing and improving your business. Like a tree, a business is either growing or dying.

An exit strategy is basically planning on a transition of ownership of a company to another company, investors or management. Like many other goals you need to plan for the “end” in mind.
Here is a list of four reasons why you need an exit strategy:
Unexpected Offers
- As they say “everything is for sale” as long as its the right price. You want to be prepared if a larger company is on the acquisition trail, and they are paying above market value. Companies acquire other businesses due to many reasons, such as economic conditions is ripe for expansion, or they are looking at diversifying.
Strategic Planning
- By having a well defined exit strategy ensures that the business has a well defined strategic goal and is moving forward to achieve it. It provides a clear vision on the expectation of management and employees.
Timing
- An exit strategy will allow the business owner to understand the best timing for an exit. Therefore allowing the owner to sell when the company is performing at its peak. Some businesses and industries have a lifespan, business owners must understand the economic environment within their industry so as to predict if there will be a downturn in the foreseeable future. Selling during a downturn is tough, and its best to sell before the cliff approaches. This occurred with the car manufacturing industry in Australia, where those that serviced the industry are rallying to diversify in other areas. This also occurred in print media, and is starting to occur for the television industry.
Health and Family Crisis
- We are not immortal, we get sick and eventually die. The business owner wants to ensure that an exit strategy is in place, so the business that supports the family does not suffer.
