Business Exit
“Advisory.Works provided clarity on our structure and where we needed to take our business in the future. - Paul Taggart - CEO, Taggart Earthmoving”
Unlocking Your Future with an Effective Exit Plan
You’ve given your life to your business. You’ve seen long weeks and you’ve sacrificed weekends. You’ve counted big wins and small victories. It’s your brainchild, your passion, and a big part of your identity too. But when the time comes for you to move on, then you need to know what to do.
Welcome to the start of your next chapter.
Exiting your business is, we hope, a privilege that you can anticipate with excitement. It’s your chance to see the rewards of your hard work, and to achieve the life that you deserve – on whatever terms that means for you.
If you simply sell your business, then you’ll typically see a multiple of your EBITDA of around 3.5 times. That’s standard. But your dedication and commitment wasn’t ‘standard’ – and your reward shouldn’t be either. So how do we extract the most value from the sale of or exit from your business?
That’s the challenge that we would like to see more people rise to.
Why An Exit Strategy Matters
Planning your exit is more than just a one-time decision. It's a strategic business move that should align with your personal and financial goals. Think of it as the grand finale of your entrepreneurial journey. It’s not just about leaving. It’s about leaving a legacy.
- Value Maximization: A well-orchestrated exit strategy can significantly enhance your company’s value – and that can help you attract premium buyers, get a better price, and ensure that years of hard work pay off.
- Future Readiness: No one can predict the future, but we can certainly plan for possibilities. Whether for health, retirement, or to launch you on to new ventures, a robust exit strategy provides a clear roadmap for what comes next – and ensures that you’ve get the results you’ve planned for.
- Legacy Assurance: Your business is your legacy. With a strategic exit plan, you can make sure your business continues to flourish long after your departure, preserving the brand and values you've worked so hard to establish.
At Advisory.Works, we understand that leaving your business can be as overwhelming and complex as starting one. But over the last three decades, we’ve worked with countless SMBs, helping them develop their strategies, build their cultures, scale their revenues, and sell their businesses to get the value they deserve.
Let us guide you to your strategic exit, from valuation and succession planning to dealing with legalities and potential buyers. We provide the insights, strategies, and tools necessary to help you exit on your terms – and receive a higher reward of your EBITDA.
It's time to think ahead, think strategically, and take control of your future with Advisory.Works by your side.
