Let's face the truth - everyone exits at some point. Those that plan for it, do much better.
Your business should always be "For Sale" or ready for an exit. Not necessarily because you actually want to sell, but because when you treat your business as if it were "For Sale" you have the incentive and focus to make sure it's running efficiently and profitably. But more than that, a well-designed exit strategy is just good business strategy as it is a guidepost for effective decision-making in your business.
Making sure your business practices are in place, your operations are as efficient as possible, and that you have a written roadmap for success, including your exit strategy, is how you strengthen your business, TODAY.
Our expert guest today, Simon Lehmann specializes in structuring and restructuring businesses and helping entrepreneurs plan for the future. Simon and I get into a wide-ranging conversation on how to build an exit strategy that you’ll be ready for well in advance. Simon also gives practical advice on what it takes to build a solid STR business and the impact of technology automation.
