Thinking about a long-term exit?
Preserve your options.
Plan a business exit or transition
“Only twenty- to thirty-percent of businesses that make it to market will sell.”
- CHRISTOPHER M. SNIDER, Walking to Destiny
Your buddy at the country club just sold his business, and it’s got you thinking: what do the next three to ten years look like for my business, and will there be an exit?
The runway from creating a value business to harvesting value for a next act begins well before you reach the negotiation table. The most successful transitions happen with a three- to twelve-year plan that blends personal goals with professional legacy.
A good exit strategy is a really good business strategy, so plan early.
The sooner you start, the greater your chances of achieving personal economic gain and ensuring long-term vitality for the company.
How we help
As success architects, we work with founders and company leaders to (1) identify their baseline wealth metrics and long-term vision; (2) develop a plan shape ambiguity into possibility, and then (3) build a framework, accountability mechanisms, and team of players (e.g., financial planners, CPAs, attorneys, specialty consultants) to bring their vision to life.
Who we are and how we work
Companies don’t grow, let alone scale, without the top decision-maker handing off some of the ball-juggling to other, precisely chosen leaders and infusing some of the special sauce that has made the company successful.
As a team, we bring expertise from our work with companies like Accenture, Amazon, Apple, Fitbit, Getaround Oracle, and Walmart — and other companies too small for you to know their names — to scale the structures and complexities of people from diverse backgrounds and experiences essential to achieving a unified outcome.
