PREPARING THE BUSINESS TO EXIT

With proper planning, preparing a business for a sale or just to leave the company will greatly enhance the value of your business. Most business owners prefer not to take the time to prepare their business, nor do they consider the current market conditions, interest rates, tax rates, growth of the company, current business cycle, etc.

Most business owners operate their business to minimize taxes and not to sell it. Planning and shifting focus in your final years in running your business will greatly increase the value. The results of shifting focus will far out weigh any taxes you will pay.

Think about it. If you planned a few years in advance to wanting to leave or if you always had the business ready for your departure for any reason, you could probably leave earlier and/or with more money.  The cost to plan the exiting of your business is mainly some time.
