CFO Services - Exit Planning
As the Business Owner can you answer the following questions?
- When do you plan to exit your business?
- At what valuation do you achieve your objectives?
- What is your business worth today?
- What growth rate do you need to achieve and maintain to reach your Exit Plan valuation?
- What are the implications of a business sale?
At BFS, we help you understand your options for business exit strategies to enhance your value at sale and to monetize the value you have worked diligently to build:
- Hand the business to the next generation
- Management buy-out
- Third-party sale – financial buyer or strategic buyer
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan
- Private Placement
- Initial Public Offering
Consider the Facts:
- Only 1.5% of all businesses in the U.S. reach $25 million in sales.
- 50% of all business owners are emotionally but not financially ready to sell.
- 50% of all business owners are within ten years of retirement and most have developed no “Exit Plan”.
- 90% of all businesses listed for sale never sell.
- 75% of all businesses handed down to the next generation fail
