Ahmie Baum discusses his company’s deep experience with business owners looking to plan for the inevitable: an exit strategy for their company.
Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network:
Ahmie explained: “Here are the top learning points business owners must realize about Exit Planning:
– Exit Planning is different from retirement planning.
– Exit Planning is about creating and maximizing value in a business to be sold for the highest possible price.
– Retirement planning is about having enough money to live on after you stop working.
– Most business owners do not have a formal exit plan.
– A lack of an exit plan can result in lower sale prices, tax consequences, and other problems.
– Exit Planning is a process that should start years before a business owner plans to sell their business. This is important because it takes time to implement strategies to maximize value.”
