The importance of exit planning and how to create the options to help you achieve your goals
Yet, planning your exit is an essential part of any business, as it is absolutely guaranteed that you will exit your business at some point - either willingly or not.
Contrary to popular belief, creating an exit plan doesn’t automatically mean that you are building a business to sell. In fact, it means that you are more likely to build a resilient and long-lasting business as you are able to plan for unforeseeable circumstances.
Whether you plan to run your business for the rest of your life, or you want to give the business up so that you can enjoy an early retirement – an exit strategy is a great way to ensure that you have a plethora of options to choose from when you walk away.
What is an exit plan?
An exit plan refers to the preparation taken by an entrepreneur to efficiently leave their company while ensuring that the value of the business has been maximised for potential mergers, shareholders and so forth.
An exit plan is heavily influenced by the way in which the business has been set up and the growth potential of the business. Therefore, to maximise profits, business owners need to ensure that they make strategic changes to help the business reach its maximum potential before exiting. The changes cannot be implemented overnight, and an exit strategy can take several years to perfect.
Why is an exit plan necessary?
Creating an exit plan is the perfect way to safeguard your business from any unforeseen circumstances. If you are pivotal in the running of your business, then you will need to change this in order to maximise growth.
Many businesses that are in their prime may show symptoms of needing an exit plan, the key indicators of a business in trouble are:
- Business slows down when you take time off.
- Business growth begins to plateau.
- More and more customers seem to be raising issues with the business.
These symptoms indicate something named ‘The Owner’s Trap’ and suggest that once the business owner withdraws from their business, then the value of that business will vastly diminish. In order to avoid this from happening, owners not only need an exit plan but to also create value within their business.
Using resources such as the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System – a proven system to achieve ScaleUp - can help business owners to assess and identify gaps in their structure. These resources can be key to strengthening a business before exiting and assist in taking the business from a small operation to a bigger running machine.
How to create an exit plan
An exit plan should be something that you create at the very start of the business, as this gives you good indicators of the type of goals you want your business to achieve. This strategy can steer you in the right direction for your goals and ensure that your business maintains an aspect of longevity.
