Business owners looking to retire or move on need to find a way to exit and extract value from their businesses. Most business owners fail to plan for their exit from their businesses until the last moment and then become disappointed on how things turned out based upon their own unmet expectations. The transition affects an owner’s identity, their wealth, and their change in role is often difficult to accept. By advance planning for their departure and understanding the process, business owners can avoid surprises, particularly in value of their business and what will happen after they start the process. This will ensure maximum value is extracted and prevents unrealistic expectations. Basecamp4 provides exit planning guidance for owners needing to transition away from their businesses that have represented a significant aspect of their life and identity. We help owners maximize value extraction, understand the process, create realistic expectations and prepare for this major life change.
