Exit Strategies

Ever Thought About Buying Another Business or Selling Your Own?

Buying and selling a business can be a minefield of compliance, legislation and risk.

Planning your exit strategy is just as important as how you start up a business and many entrepreneurs have not even considered the prospect of what they will do when the time comes to exit their business.

At Clear & Lane we feel that planning is key to achieving your ultimate business objectives. Our advisers can provide an understanding of the valuation process and how to maximise business value prior to exit.
 

We can help you with:

  • Due Diligence – reviewing a potential business acquisition
  • Financials – working with the banks to secure the appropriate level of finance.
  • Restructuring – Changing the financial base of your company to generate the capacity for investment and to create working capital.

We are happy to discuss this further with you.

What’s Your Exit Strategy?

The ultimate aim of every serious business person is to build a company that has value, so that it can be sold or transferred, allowing the entrepreneur to exit gracefully and profitably.

In the recent past, we have been helping a number of our entrepreneur clients develop appropriate exit strategies. There are many issues to consider . . .

  • When do you want to exit?
  • Can the business be sold to your employees?
  • Is a trade sale more likely?
  • Are there children involved?
  • How much is the business worth?
  • What needs to be done to enhance the value of the business?
  • How long will it take?
  • Do you want/need to stay on after sale or transfer?
  • What are the tax consequences?

We have a tried and tested methodology to address each of these issues, to prepare your business for sale, find potential buyers and negotiate to get the maximum price a buyer feels your business is worth.

If you would like to discuss your personal exit plans we would be happy to help.

PS. It has been said that buying or selling your home is the largest financial deal you will ever do - actually this is not true - it is selling your business; and it’s never too early to start planning for it.
