A detailed plan is crucial for the successful exit of your business

Consider the statistics:*

100% of business owners will leave their businesses, whether planned or otherwise.

79% of business owners plan to exit their businesses in the next 10 years.

80% of owners believe that a successful exit will result from planning and action items they implement.

But…

Only 17% of owners have created a written exit plan … and it takes at least 3 to 5 years to develop one.

What will it be for you?
